Preface. 

This Register of members of the Phi Kappa Sigma Frater- 
nity is offered to the brotherhood in commemoration of the 
completion of six decades of fraternity hfe. From 1850 to 
1910 over four thousand American college students have been 
initiated into the mysteries of the Skull and Bones. The record 
of their lives and achievements is here set forth. 

Since November, 1908, the Committee has been at work 
upon the book. Not only have all living members been sent 
information blanks to be filled in, but also all possible sources 
of information concerning members, both living and dead, have 
been used to obtain data. In some cases the results have been 
barren. The Civil War annihilated the Southern chapters, and 
many of their members disappeared from view. To trace them 
fifty years later is in many instances impossible. The surprising 
failure of many colleges to keep accurate record of their alumni 
was another difficulty encountered. On the whole, however, the 
Committee feels that it has succeeded in preparing a book 
which is not only a great improvement over previous editions, 
but also one of the best publications of its kind. 

The Committee is especially gratified to be able to obtain 
photographs of all the founders of the Fraternity and of tlie 
founders of practically all the older chapters. All houses now 
owned or rented by the chapters are also reproduced.

Note. 

The fact that a member is deceased is denoted by a star (*). 

Members who have been transferred from one chapter to another are 
recorded only in their original chapter, the initial of the transferee chapter 
being placed after the name of the member. 

Academic degrees are given only when known to be correct. 

The name of the institution conferring the degree is not given where 
it is the same as that of the chapter of the member. Otherwise it is given. 
Degrees separated by a semicolon were given by different institutions. - 

Mention of relationship has been limited to fathers and sons and to 
brothers. The data is no doubt incomplete, as it has been inserted only in 
case the Committee was certain of the fact.

A History of the Government of the 
Fraternity, 1850-1910. 



In the archives of the Grand Chapter of the Phi Kappa 
Sigma Fraternity, in the possession of the Executive Board, is 
the original Constitution of the Fraternity, written in the hand 
of Samuel Brown Wylie Mitchell, the founder, anj^ dated Oc- 
tober 19, 1850. Many of the general expressions of this Con- 
stitution are to be found in the Constitution of the present day 
in the same words, although most of the particular provisions 
have been amended at various times, a process which is still 
going on, perhaps too freq[uently. The details of the origin 
of the Alpha Chapter and, ipso facto, of the origin of the Fra- 
ternity, w^ill be found in the history of Alpha Chapter elsewhere 
in this volume, the purpose of this sketch being to give a run- 
ning survey of the history of the Fraternity as a national or- 
ganization, and of its growth and government during the sixty 
years of its existence. 

That it was intended from the beginning by Dr. Mitchell 
and his co-founders that the Fraternity should become a 
national one is evident from the fact that one of the articles of 
the original Constitution is entitled, "Branch Societies or Chap- 
ters," in which it is provided that such chapters may be created 
in approved institutions of learning upon application being 
made to the Alpha Chapter and approved by a majority of the 
whole number of the members of that chapter. It was not until 
two and a half years later, namely, on April 23, 1853, that the 
Beta Chapter w^as established at Princeton University. This 
was followed in quick succession by the establishment of the 
Gamma Chapter at Lafayette College, instituted December 20, 
1853 ; the Delta Chapter at Jefferson (now Washington and 
Jeiferson) College, instituted June 5, 1854 ; the Epsilon Chap- 



20 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

ter at Dickinson College, instituted September 5, 1854, and the 
Zeta Chapter at Franklin and Marshall College, instituted Oc- 
tober 18, 1854. All of this first group of new chapters were 
located in territory contiguous to the University of Pennsyl- 
vania. There was at this time in the University a large percent- 
age of students from the Southern States, especially in the 
Medical School, from which many of the early members of 
Alpha Chapter were drawn, and it was therefore but natural 
that further expansion should be in that region, and so we find 
the next chapter erected to be Eta Chapter at the University 
of Virginia, instituted on December 31, 1854, and followed by 
the Thet a Chapter at Centenary College of Louisiana on June 
1, 1855. In fact, with the exception of Iota Chapter, founded 
at Columbia College on November 10, 1855, all of the remaining 
chapters instituted prior to the Civil War were in the South. 
These were the Kappa Chapter at Emory and Henry College on 
July 1, 1856 ; Lambda Chapter at the University of North Caro- 
lina on November 12, 1856; Mu Chapter at the University of 
Louisiana (now Tulane University) on January 14, 1858; Nu 
Chapter at Cumberland University on March 18, 1859 ; Xi 
Chapter at the University of Mississippi on December 2, 1859 ; 
and Omicron Chapter at Centre College (now Central Univer- 
sity of Kentucky) in January, 1860. 

The original Constitution provided that whenever it should 
be deemed necessary by a majority of the whole number of 
chapters, the Alpha Chapter should call a convention to be 
held in Philadelphia to be attended by three delegates from each 
chapter. This was the only provision for many years concern- 
ing the national government of the Fraternity. Under it cout 
ventions were held until the breaking out of the Civil War. The 
powers of this convention, however, were not clearly defined, 
and there was no permanent organization such as now exists in 
the shape of the Executive Board, which is the executive of the 
Fraternity between the sessions of the Grand Chapter. The 
conventions met from time to time and organized by the election 
of a President and Secretary and a list of Vice-Presidents, one 
from each chapter. These officers performed the usual clerical 



PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 21 

duties during the meeting, but ceased to exist upon adjourn- 
ment. The power of a permanent executive, if such it can be 
called, was lodged in the Alpha Chapter, which, through corre- 
spondence with the other chapters, performed such functions as 
were necessary between the conventions. 

The first convention of the Fraternity was held on August 
9, 1854, at Philadelphia. Although Alpha, Beta, Gamma and 
Delta were then in existence, delegates from the first two only 
were present. Dr. Morris J. Asch, of Alpha, presided, with 
William M. McKeen, of Alpha, as Secretary. The minutes of 
this meeting are very brief and disclose little of importance. 
Indeed, the second convention, held a year and a half later, was 
for many years regarded as the first convention. The fact, 
however, that one was held in 1854 was recently established by 
the discovery of the original minutes. 

The second convention assembled at the call of the Alpha 
Chapter on January 10 and 11, 1856, at the United States 
Hotel in Philadelphia. There were then nine chapters in exist- 
ence, of which five were present and four absent. Dr. Asch 
was elected President and Dr. Mitchell, Secretary. The most 
interesting feature connected with this convention was the 
amendment to the Constitution requiring that in the creation 
of new chapters the unanimous consent of all the chapters must 
be given. While there is no positive evidence, it is probable that 
prior to this time new chapters were created by the action of 
Alpha Chapter alone. It was further provided that the char- 
ters of new chapters should be issued by the Alpha Chapter in 
the name of the Fraternity. At this convention originated the 
custom of the annual delivery of an oration and a poem. The 
orator was Stacy Gardner Potts, Jr., of Beta, and the poem 
was prepared by Henry Hudnall, of Eta, and read in his 
absence. This convention also directed the publication of a 
Phi Kappa Sigma Song Book, which never materialized. The 
reports given by the chapters in this and the succeeding con- 
ventions show that most of the chapters were existing sub rosa, 
due to faculty opposition, which in some institutions took the 
aggressive form of requiring upon entrance an oath directed 



22 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

against joining Greek Letter Societies. Apparently no Phi 
Kap of that day had the sliglitest compunction in breaking 
this oath, for the more stringent the opposition the more the 
chapters flourished. An example of this is on record at Epsilon 
Chapter, where the faculty, learning the names of the members, 
called upon them to disband under penalty of expulsion. The 
latter, seeing a loophole through which to escape, readily 
agreed, but as nothing was said against reorganization, as 
readily reorganized. 

The third convention was held on December ^2-23, 1856, 
at the rooms of the Alpha Chapter in Philadelphia. There 
were then eleven chapters, of which all were represented except 
Lambda. Frank S. Findlay, of Epsilon, was elected President 
and Edmund C. Pechin, of Alpha, Secretary. Stacy Gardner 
Potts, Jr., of Beta, delivered a poem and Dr. Mitchell was the 
orator. Concerning his oration, the minutes state : "Dr. Samuel 
Brown Wylie Mitchell was then introduced by the President and 
proceeded to deliver his oration, which was vigorous, beautiful 
and eloquent, and while it riveted the attention of his hearers 
thi'oughout, did not fail to elicit frequent remarks of appro- 
bation." At this convention a sinking fund was originated, 
which in a small way was the forerunner of the present En- 
dowment Fund. It was doomed, however, to early failure and 
two years later, only a small amount having been collected, it 
was directed that the fund be disbanded and the money returned 
to the donors. 

It should be here noted that in 1857 the idea of a publi- 
cation was conceived and resulted in the appearance in March 
of that year of the Phi Kappa Sigma Magazine, edited by 
Edmund C. Pechin, Samuel Dickson and J. Leighton iNIcKim, 
all of Alpha Chapter. It was not printed, but written in long 
hand and read at the chapter meetings. It is not recorded hoAv 
many issues appeared. Truly prophetic wa^ the editorial of 
the original issue, written by Brother Pechin, which stated, 
"Those who have originated this Magazine have sought to 
look beyond the future, and hopefully believe that the day will 
come when a paper edited and published by Phi Kaps shall he 



PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 23 

furnished to every memher of the Fraternity. We may run the 
risk of being visionary, but it is quite witliin the range of pos- 
sibility." Forty-four years later this dream has realized in 
the shape of the Phi Kappa Sigma News Letter. 

The fourth convention assembled at Gautier's Hotel, Wash- 
ington, D. C, on December 28-29, 1858, having been postponed 
for one year on account of the then prevailing financial de- 
pression. Eight of the twelve chapters were represented. Wil- 
liam J. Stevenson, of Epsilon, presided, and Dr. Mitchell again 
acted as secretary. The evident need of a stronger central 
government produced at this convention a body known as the 
"Supreme Consistory," which was to exercise the executive 
and judicial functions of the Fraternity. Its membership con- 
sisted of all Alphas and ex-Alphas of the several chapters. The 
officers of the Consistory were an Alpha, a Beta, a Pi, an Upsi- 
lon, a Sigma, a Tau and an Iota, the unmistakable ancestors of 
the present Grand Officers. These officers together formed a 
board called the "Grand Arch Tribunal." The Supreme Con- 
sistory was divided into seven departments, the duties of which 
covered every conceivable phase of fraternity activity. It was 
further provided that the Consistory should meet semi-annually 
in Philadelphia, while the Grand Arch Tribunal and each of 
the seven departments should hold quarterly meetings at the 
same place. To divert a moment from the chronological his- 
tory of the Fraternity, it may be noted that the first, last and 
only meeting of the Supreme Consistory was held in Phila- 
delphia on December 28-29, 1859. Seventeen members were 
present, but as twenty-two were necessary to constitute a quo- 
rum, the Consistory adjourned, although numerous committees 
were appointed to carry on the work of the various depart- 
ments. At the conA^ention of the following year, the Consistory 
was abolished, only to be reorganized, so as to consist of three 
delegates from each chapter instead of the Alphas and past 
Alphas, and Dr. Mitchell was created its head for a term of 
two years. It does not appear, however, that anything further 
was done by this cumbersome and high-sounding body. 

The Washington Convention of 1858 is further interesting 



24 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

in that the minutes show that Attorney-General Black, whose 
son, Chauncey F. Black, of Delta, was a delegate to the con- 
vention, had arranged to present the members to President 
Buchanan. The minutes of the convention state : "The Frater- 
nity lieaded by the officers of the convention proceeded to the 
office of the Attorney-General, by whom they were cordially 
received and escorted to the White House. Each one by name 
was presented to the President, after which Mr. Stevenson 
made a short but exceedingly appropriate address, informing 
the President of the object of their call, to pay that tribute of 
respect to which he, as a man, and as the Chief Magistrate of 
the nation was so eminently entitled, and, in referring to the 
Fraternity, mentioned that every portion of the Union was 
there represented. The President, after alluding in flattering 
terms to the visit, spoke of the influence of such conventions, 
composed as they were of the best educated young men of the 
country, facetiously remarking Hhat an old man like himself 
might stand in dread of being blown "sky high," ' and in rela- 
tion to the responsibility resting upon them, expressed the 
earnest hope that they would all prove devoted to the interests, 
and use their influence in maintaining the integrity and pre- 
serving the glory of the Union." The convention closed with 
an oration by Samuel Dickson, of Alpha, and a poem by Wil- 
liam Baillie Ritter, of Eta. 

The Convention of December 27-28, 1860, held in New 
York, was a memorable one in the annals of the Fraternity. 
Of the fifteen chapters, twelve were present. "The integrity of 
the Union" referred to by President Buchanan two years before 
was then seriously threatened. The election of President Lin- 
coln had taken place the preceding month, and it is easy to 
imagine that the state of excitement in the country was re- 
flected among the delegates. Prior to the assemblage of the 
convention, Mu Chapter had, on December 18, addressed a 
circular letter to all the chapters, calling attention to the 
political condition of the country and emphasizing the claims 
of the state as "paramount to all other considerations." It 
submitted to the chapters a series of questions, inquiring 



PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 25 

whether the Fraternity could continue as a united body in 
case of a dissolution of the Union ; what steps could be taken 
to meet the new relations arising from such dissolution ; and 
whether an amendment should not be inserted in the ritual of 
initiation obliging each member "to still sectional interference 
and agitation." In accordance with the purport of this letter, 
William P. Grivot, of Mu, offered at the convention a resolu- 
tion recommending that "an obligation be placed in the cere- 
mony of initiation which shall recognize the social distinction 
between the white and black races." The slavery question thus 
injected into the Fraternity consumed the entire attention of 
the convention. Theta Chapter, following the example of Mu, 
offered a resolution calling for the same constitutional amend- 
ment, prefaced by various preambles reciting the condition of 
the country. Strange to say, Xi Chapter from the neighbor- 
ing State of Mississippi presented a motion that no resolution 
of a political nature should be admitted before the convention. 
To this the Theta Chapter retorted that its resolution was not 
a political sentiment, but "a just demand of a necessary recog- 
nition of principle within the Fraternity." After a long de- 
bate, it was decided that "in view of the present distracted and 
eminently critical condition of our country, deeply affecting 
all classes of citizens, a committee of one from every chapter 
should be appointed to prepare an address to the chapters and 
members of the Fraternity, and that all addresses, resolutions 
and communications of a political nature should be referred to 
that committee." The committee was accordingly appointed 
and on the following day presented both a majority and a 
minority report. The majority, composed of the committee- 
men from Beta, Epsilon, Zeta and all of the Southern chap- 
ters, except Xi, reported that an address alone would be inade- 
quate to meet the difficulties of the occasion, and they there- 
fore proposed a resolution stating that the Fraternity recog- 
nize the social distinction between white and black races, and 
they further proposed a constitutional amendment to carry 
into effect the resolution. The minority report, submitted by 
the remaining Northern committeemen, together with Xi, re- 



26 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

ported that in tlieir opinion an address would be amply suffi- 
cient. After an animated discussion the whole matter was re- 
ferred back to the connnittee, with tlie result that the committee 
unanimously reported that an address be sent out, and that 
the initiation ritual include a pledge "to still all political and 
religious interference and agitation w^henever and wherever 
it may arise in the Fraternity." An address was accordingly 
prepared and dispatched to all the chapters, signed by the 
entire thirty-four delegates. In a dignified style it proclaimed 
the stability and union of the Fraternity irrespective of po- 
litical dissolution and urged fraternal harmony among the mem- 
bers. This brief sketch of the slavery agitation at this con- 
vention, recounting it only as disclosed by the minutes, neces- 
sarily leaves to the imagination the heated political arguments 
which must have taken place among the delegates. 

The convention closed with a dinner at the Fifth Avenue 
Hotel, at which an oration was delivered by William Godley, 
of Beta, and a poem by Albert H. Slape, of Epsilon. The 
minutes note that at the same time and place the Delta Kappa 
Epsilon was holding a banquet and that an interchange of 
sentiments was had between the banquets. To the Delta Kappa 
Epsilon was sent the following : 

"Phi Kappa Sigma to Delta Kappa Epsilon : The secret 
societies of America — may an honorable rivalry ever incite 
them and harmony characterize their intercourse." The reply: 
"Six cheers for the Phi Kappa Sigma. The Delta Kappa 
Epsilon to the Phi Kappa Sigma^ returns her most cordial 
salutation with the following sentiment : The secret societies 
of American colleges, planets of the same educational system, 
may their movement rival the harmony of the spheres." 

The New York Convention adjourned to meet at Rich- 
mond, Va., in 186^. Owing to the Civil War this convention 
did not meet, and it was not until December 28-^9, 186-^, that 
the Fraternity again gathered as a national body. This con- 
vention was held at Philadelphia in the famous Parlor C of the 
Continental Hotel. The seven Northern chapters were all 
present, the eight from the South all absent. All of the chapter 



PHI KAPP.l SIGMA P RATERS IT Y. 27 

reports refer to tlie havoc wrouglit by tlie war. No reference 
is made to the condition of any of the Southern chapters, ex- 
cept that of Oniicron. As to that chapter, the convention was 
in receipt of a letter from New^ton Williams, of Delta, stating 
that he w^as then at Centre College, but that no member of 
Omicron was to be found. Apparently no oration or poem 
was delivered. 

The C^onvention of December 27-28, 1865, met at the Fifth 
Avenue Plotel, New York City. Eight Northern chapters were 
represented, Pi at Harvard having been founded since the last 
convention. The non-existence of the eight Southern chapters 
was by this time undoubted, and the convention directed that 
active steps be taken to reorganize them wherever possible. 
At the same time the convention chartered a new chapter, Rho, 
at Austin College, Huntsville, Texas, an ill starred attempt 
which lasted but a year. This convention w^as presided over by 
Dr. Mitchell. Neither the orator, Daniel S. Tuttle, of Iota, 
nor the poet, Clay MacCauley, of Epsilon, was present. The 
Convention of 1866 met on December 27-28 of that year in 
Philadelphia. The eight Northern chapters were all present 
and the Southern chapters, w^hich were still carried on the rolls, 
all absent, including the Rho Chapter. Henry L. Bunstein, 
of Gamma, presided, with Robert N. Clark, of Alpha, as sec- 
retary. It was reported that efforts were being made to revive 
the Nu Chapter at Cumberland University and the Omicron 
Chapter at Centre College, but apparently nothing was done. 
Resolutions w^ere again adopted calling for the reorganization 
of the Southern chapters and the convention adjourned. 

A year later the convention met at Harrisburg, Pa., on 
December 31, 1867, and January 1, 1868, under the presidency 
of Lewis E. McComas, of Epsilon, with John C. Sims, of Alpha, 
as secretary. The convention, while attended by only six chap- 
ters, is of importance in that it directed a revision of the Con- 
stitution, which, when adopted the following year, became the 
basis of the present government of the Fraternity. The usual 
oration was delivered by Henry L. Bunstein, of Gamma, and 
a poem prepared by Henry F. King, of Epsilon, was read by 
Horace Bonham, of Gamma.

The Conventions of May 15, 1869, and December 22, 1869, 
both held at Philadelphia, mark the beginning of the general 
Fraternity as it now exists as a national body. At these con- 
ventions the Constitution which, with revisions, is still in force, 
was adopted. There was created by it the body now known 
as the Grand Chapter, which has met each year since then and 
which exercises general legislative power over the Fraternity. 
There was created at the same time the Executive Board, which, 
as its name implies, is the executive body of the Fraternity 
between the sessions of the Grand Chapter. The second of 
these two conventions marked the erection of the Sigma Chapter 
at Lehigh University. The Fraternity at this time, geographic- 
ally speaking, was a sectional body, consisting of five chapters 
in Pennsylvania, one in New Jersey and one in New York. 
Both the Pi and Rho chapters had passed away and the ante- 
bellum chapters in the South w^ere all out of existence. Iota, 
at Columbia, had but one man in college and became dormant 
in 1870. National fraternity spirit was at low ebb and a 
desire to remedy this was doubtless the reason for the calling 
of a general convocation, the first of several which have been 
since held, which met at Philadelphia on December SI, 1871. 
Judge James D. Watters, of Epsilon, presided, and the historic 
oration and poem were revived, the former being delivered by 
Henry Kyd Douglass, of Zeta, and the latter by Horatio C. 
King, of Epsilon. 

At the convention held at Philadelphia, January 9-10, 
1873, called the "fifth" under the new Constitution, but in 
reality the fourteenth actually held, Leroy S. Edwards ap- 
peared from Eta Chapter, the first Southern delegate since the 
war. Brother Edwards was the moving spirit in the reorgan- 
ization of Eta on September 26, 1872, and he was also largely 
instrumental in establishing the Tau Chapter at Randolph- 
Macon College, in January, 1872, and the Phi Chapter at 
Richmond College, in January, 1873. As a further evidence 
of the revived interest in the Fraternity there had been estab- 
lished on July 8, 1872, the first chapter in the middle West, 
namely, Upsilon Chapter at Northwestern University, which

was fatliered by James C. Ei-nst, of Beta. The organization 
of the first Ahnnni Association, located in New York City, had 
occurred in 1869. In order to encourage such organizations, 
they were in 1870 given representation in the Grand Chapter, 
but this was repealed in 1871, and from that time until a very 
few years ago alumni chapters were not officially recognized. 
Following upon the institution of Upsilon, the Chi Chapter 
was established at Racine College, Wisconsin, in March, 1873, 
mainly through the efforts of Arch B. Eldridge, of Beta, and 
John M. Dandy, of Upsilon. It lived, however, but a few years, 
owing to faculty oppression. 

The Second General Convocation, which was held at Horti- 
cultural Hall, in Philadelphia, June 30, 1876, was by far the 
largest gathering in the history of the Fraternity up to that 
time. Col. James L. Clark, of Eta, acted as salutatorian. 
Henry L. Bunstein, of Gamma, delivered a history of the Fra- 
ternity. Col. Horatio C. King, of Epsilon, read a poem, and 
the oration was delivered by Hon. E. John Ellis, of Theta. 
In the evening an elaborate banquet was held at which Dr. 
Mitchell, the founder of the Fraternity, acted as toastmaster. 
The Grand Chapter met at the same time. A few months before, 
Psi Chapter had been established at the Long Island Medical 
College, Brooklyn, through the efforts of Gamma Chapter. 
This entrance into a purely professional school was a mistake, 
and the chapter did not long survive. In fact the recent en- 
ergy of the Fraternity was soon expended, for 1877 recorded 
the extinction of both Beta and Epsilon, the former because of 
the wholesale abolition of fraternities at Princeton, and the 
latter from lack of available material. The only encouraging 
sign was that Lambda Chapter at North Carolina had arisen 
from the ruins of the war and w^as again in a flourishing con- 
dition, although existing sub rosa, the chapter sending special 
warning to the other chapters never to address communications 
in such a way as to indicate the existence of the chapter. 

During the latter '70's, Alpha, Lambda and Upsilon were 
the most flourishing chapters. The others then active, Gamma, 



30 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

Delta, Zeta, Eta, Sigma, Tau, Phi and Psi, having but two or 
three men eacli in their respective colleges. The falling off of in- 
terest since the Convocation of 1876 was apparent in the next 
one, held in 1879, wlien the number present was less than half at 
that of 1876. So general was the discouraging outlook for 
the Fraternity nationally that no convention was again held 
until January 20, 1882, when it was reported that Gamma and 
Psi were each reduced to one member in college. The Grand 
Chapter accordingly withdrew the charter of Psi that year 
and that of Gamma the following year. Zeta Chapter, which 
had had a long and prosperous existence, was also in dire straits, 
so much so that at the Convention of January, 1882, it was 
voted to disband the chapter. However, local brethren in Lan- 
caster came to its relief, and the Executive Board, in March of 
1882, by what was apparently a stretch of its constitutional 
powers, decided to hold in abeyance the order disbanding Zeta, 
with the result that at the convention held on December 29, 
1882, the dissolution of Zeta was repealed. 

Despite these adverse circumstances felt so generally 
throughout the chapters, a high standard of membership was 
maintained by all. Several struggled along with but two or 
three members, preferring the risk of extinction to a lowering 
of the standard of membership. Epsilon indeed surrendered its 
charter for this reason, and Sigma and Phi were without men 
in college for a few^ years. 

The Conventions of 1882 mark the first discussions looking 
toward the establishment of a Fraternity magazine, but nothing 
seems to have been done in the matter until 1890, as will be 
noted later. 

The Omega Chapter at Haverford College was founded in 
188-i, the Executive Board reporting to the Grand Chapter 
that its establishment was "the croAvning effort of the year." 
Spasmodic efforts to revive dormant chapters came to a head 
at this convention, and it was resolved that Beta and Iota 
should be reorganized by the Alpha, Gamma by Sigma, Epsilon 
by Zeta and Phi by Tau. Tlie only result was the revival of 
Phi in the following year. 



PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 31 

In 1886, tlic need of a Fraternity magazine was again 
discussed, and tlie Tau Chapter was autliorl/cd to j)ul)lish a 
paper in the interest of the Fraternity. Nothing, liowever, 
was done until the session of the Grand Chapter lield at Nor- 
folk, Virginia, January 3, 1890. Tliis convention, while small 
in numbers, was in many respects a turning point in the Fra- 
ternity's career as a national organization. Delegates were 
present from but five chapters. Alpha, Eta, Lambda, Phi and 
Omega, but it authorized the inauguration of the Phi Kappa 
Sigma Quarterly and elected Stuart McGuirc, of Eta, editor- 
in-chief. Dr. oNIcGuire subsequently" declined, and George Gor- 
don Battle, of Lambda, was substituted in his place. The first 
number was published in New York, in February, 1891. Subse- 
quent issues were published in Philadelphia regularly until 1901, 
when it was discontinued and superseded by the Phi Kappa 
Sigma News Letter, the official organ at the present time. 

At this convention Lambda Chapter reported that it had 
the honor to possess the first chapter house in the Fraternity. 
The delegates reported the house as a "beautiful and conven- 
ient chapter house which was built, furnished and presented 
to the chapter by our generous alumni." It is described as "a 
building about thirty by forty feet and is painted in our colors, 
but the outside appearance gives but a slight idea of the con- 
venience and beauty of its interior. Our Assembly Hall is a 
large room, which, thanks to the kindness of Frank B. Dancy, 
is most handsomely and appropriately decorated. On the ros- 
trum we have three handsome mahogany chairs with old gold 
cushions; a handsome Brussels carpet is on the floor. Our 
windows have lace curtains and shades with Lambda and the 
skull and cross bones painted on them. All of the globes of 
the lamps have the same thing painted on them ; all of us are 
constantly stimulated to still greater action on account of our 
neat hall." 

The Convention of 1891 met in Philadelphia on January 
1st, with nine chapters represented, the largest since 1860. The 
loss of Omega Chapter, caused by prohibitive faculty legisla- 
tion, was offset by the institution of Psi at Pennsylvania State 
College, which was accomplished by the absorption of the local 



32 riil KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNPfy. 

chapter of the Q. T. V. Society. In 1892 Rho Chapter was 
founded at the University of Illinois. 

In 1893, Anthony Sambola, of Theta, revived the Mu 
Chapter at Tulane, and the Kappa Chapter at Lake Forest 
was founded, but both, together with the youthful Rho Chapter, 
soon succumbed, chiefly because of the financial panic at that 
time. The Fraternity did not seem to realize the importance 
of establishing chapters only upon a firm basis so as to assure 
their permanency. In 1894 the Alpha Alpha Chapter was 
founded at Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va., 
and the Epsilon Chapter at Dickinson was revived by the ab- 
sorption of a local society known as Alpha Zeta Phi, which 
had existed successfully at that institution for a number of 
years. In the following year the Alpha Beta Chapter at 
Toronto University, the only chapter organized outside the 
territory of the United States, came into existence. Prac- 
tically all of its members, however, failed to return the next 
year and the chapter's career was abortive. The charter of 
Lambda was finally withdrawn with great regret in 1896, after 
it had led a struggling existence for three or four years. Mu, 
which had succumbed temporarily, was revived in 1901, has 
since continued active. Rho also was revived in 1902 and 
Iota in 1904 under favorable conditions and they have since 
attained high rank in their respective universities. 

It will thus be seen that from 1860 to the middle of the 
last decade of the century the Fraternity suffered from a lack 
of cohesion nationally, occasional periods of enthusiasm and 
expansion being succeeded by a recurrence of apathy. The 
effect of the beginning of civil war in the country in 1861 was 
to deprive the Fraternity at one blow of half its active life. 
From such a calamity recovery was necessarily prolonged. The 
wonder is, not that a long period of national inactivity followed, 
but that the Fraternity survived it all. It is a powerful testi- 
monial to the loyalty of its members that it succeeded eventually 
in restoring its organic unity. The national lethargy was not, 
however, reflected in the several chapters individually. During 
this whole period Alpha Chapter maintained its historic position 



PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. zz 

as the leading fraternity at the University of Pennsylvania. Eta 
Chapter at Virginia, following its revival after the war, together 
with the Tail and Phi chapters in the same state, obtained mem- 
bers of the highest personnel, as did Lambda at North Carolina. 
In the West the Upsilon Chapter for many years maintained an 
isolated existence with marked success. It was not, however, until 
1896 that the Fraternity began to assume its present command- 
ing position as a national organization. Since that time several 
chapters have been added in tlie leading institutions of the coun- 
try under conditions which have assured permanent organiza- 
tions. The result has been a marvelous development in the Fra- 
ternity as a national body. It now numbers twenty-six active 
chapters, all of which are strong in their respective colleges and 
are united as one general society. The Executive Board, which 
for many years after its creation in 1869 met at irregular 
intervals, now has for the last fifteen or eighteen years held reg- 
ular monthly meetings and carries on an enormous amount of 
executive business and detail throughout the year. 

No better testimony of the Fraternity's strength can be 
found than in the enthusiastic manner with which its Semi-Cen- 
tennial was celebrated in Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, on 
October 17, 18 and 19, 1900. Delegates from all the active chap- 
ters and scores of alumni assembled from all parts of the coun- 
try. In addition to the routine business sessions of the Grand 
Chapter a general convocation was held during the convention. 
This was presided over by Grand Alpha J. Hartley Merrick, 
with Charles Hare Hutchinson, of Alpha, one of the two then 
surviving founders of the Fraternity, as honorary president. 
Thomas Lynch Montgomery, of Alpha, past Grand Alpha, de- 
livered an historical address ; Russell Duane, of Alpha, was the 
orator, and General Horatio C. King, of Epsilon, read a poem. 
On the 18th a memorial service was held at St. Stephen's 
Church, in the porch of which edifice are buried the remains of 
Dr. Mitchell, the founder. The service was conducted with great 
impressiveness, all of the officiating clergy being members of the 
Fraternity. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. George 
Woolsey Hodge, of Alpha Chapter. On the evening of the 



34 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

19tli the Semi-Centennlal was brought to a close with an elab- 
orate banquet, at which between two hundred and fifty and 
three hundred Phi Kaps were present, the Hon. William U. 
Hensel, of Zeta, acting as toastmaster. Toasts were responded 
to by Samuel Dickson, Esq. (Alpha), of the Philadelphia Bar; 
Hon. George Glover Crocker (Pi), chairman of the Boston 
Subway Commission; Randal Morgan, Esq. (Alpha), vice-presi- 
dent of the United Gas Improvement Company ; Dr. William 
Draper Lewis (Omega), dean of the Law School of the Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania, and others. 

In 1901 the Executive Board found that the Phi Kappa 
Sigma Quarterly was not fulfilling its proper function as a Fra- 
ternity magazine and accordingly suspended it, and instituted in 
its stead the publication known as the Phi Kappa Sigma News 
Letter, which has since continued as the official organ of the 
Fraternity. The News Letter aims to present a succinct record 
of the current progress of the Fraternity, without any attempt 
to pose as a literary magazine. Its circulation, free of cost 
among all living members, has proved to be the means of awak- 
ening and solidifying fraternal loyalty to a remarkable degree. 

At its Convention at Baltimore in 1904, the Grand Chapter 
instituted the officers known as "Chapters Visitors" who are 
appointed by the ExecutiA^e Board, one from each chapter, as' 
overseers of their chapters. These officers are selected from 
among the graduates of the chapter and are required to make 
stated visits to the chapter and to report to the Executive 
Board upon the conditions found existing. By this means 
the Executive Board is put in possession of accurate informa- 
tion concerning each chapter from the point of view of the 
graduate. 

Within the past twelve years all but two or three of the 
chapters of the Fraternity have become the possessors of chap- 
ter houses, although so far less than half are owned by the 
chapters. The Convention of 1907, held in New York, marked 
the inception of the Phi Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund, which 
is being accumulated by the voluntary subscriptions of the 
members of the Fraternity and which eventually will provide 



PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 35 

ways and means of establishing every chapter in a suitable 
liouse owned by it or by the Fraternity for the chapter's use. 
In conclusion, the present activities of the Fraternity as 
a national organization may be summarized as follows : 

I. The Grand Chapter, which meets annually, consisting 
of three delegates from each chapter and one delegate from 
each alumni chapter under the presidency of the Grand Alpha. 
The Executive Board and the Chapter Visitors collectively 
constitute additional voting units on votes which are taken b}'' 
chapters. The Grand Chapter has general legislative power 
over the Fraternity subject to the provisions of the Constitution. 
The Constitution, By-Laws and Acts of the Grand Chapter are 
collected in printed form and are in the possession of each 
chapter. 

II. The Executive Board, which consists of the Grand 
Officers of the Grand Chapter, elected annually, is the working 
executive of the Grand Chapter between the sessions. The 
Board is presided over by the Grand Alpha and meets monthly 
carrying into execution an enormous amount of governmental 
detail. 

III. The office of tlie Grand Beta, who is the supervisor 
of the chapter visitor system. 

IV. The office of tlie Grand Sigma, who is the secretary 
of the Executive Board and of the Grand Chapter, performing 
the varied duties which customarily belong to such an office. 

V. The office of the Grand Tau, who collects and dis- 
burses the finances of the Fraternity. These finances are raised 
by a stated per capita tax upon all of the chapters. The 
funds are used in paying the expenses of the Grand Officers 
and of one delegate from the chapters to the Grand Chapter; 
for the publication of the Phi Kappa Sigma News Letter, 
which is sent free to all living members ; for the publication 
of a pocket directory of living members, which is issued with- 
out cost to the undergraduates in every alternate year, and 
for various current miscellaneous expenses. 

VI. The office of the Grand Upsilon, who is the editor of 
the Phi Kappa Sigma News Letter, of the pocket directory and 



36 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY, 

of the general Register. The duties of the Grand Upsilon en- 
tail the keeping of an accurate card catalogue of the names 
and addresses of all living members of the Fraternity. 

VII. The office of the Grand Epsilon, who is the head of 
the Endowment Fund through which money is raised to finance 
the erection of houses for all of the chapters, to be owned by 
the chapters or by the general Fraternity for their use.

History of Alpha Chapter 

A complete history of Alpha Chapter must of necessity 
include, to a certain extent, a history of the Fraternity itself, 
but as that appears elsewhere in this Register only a brief 
summary can be here given of Alpha's part in the building up 
of our national organization. 

The early papers left by Dr. Mitchell in his handwriting 
indicate that he first conceived the idea of establishing a frater- 
nity at the University of Pennsylvania on the 16th of August, 
1850, a date that is memorable in the annals of Alpha Chapter, 
not only from this fact, but because August 16th was, by a 
strange coincidence, the date both of the birth and death of 
the founder. 

It was with the idea of a rivalry with Delta Phi, then the 
only college fraternity established at Pennsylvania, when Dr. 
Mitchell, with that energy and enthusiasm which some of us still 
remember, took into his confidence a few intimate classmates, 
and as the result of a conversation held in Professor Vethake's 
room at the Universitj'^, then located in Ninth Street, Phi Kappa 
Sigma, the only fraternity founded at tlie University of Penn- 
sylvania, was organized on the 19th day of October, 1850. The 
founders were Samuel Brown Wylie Mitchell, James Bayard 
Hodge, Alfred Victor Du Pont, Charles Hare Hutchinson, John 
Thorn Stone, Duane Williams and Andrew Adams Ripka. 
These seven met at the house of James Bayard Hodge, at the 
northwest corner of Ninth and Walnut Streets, and organized by 
calling him to the chair. A constitution and by-laws were then 
presented and adopted, having been previously drafted by a 
committee which met at Duane Williams' house, on the north 
side of Walnut Street, between Eighth and Ninth Streets, next 
door to what is now the Casino. An order of initiation was then 
framed, the badge adopted, and the life of the Fraternity begun. 

The greater part of the work, and the design of the badge, 



44 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

was Dr. Mitchell's ; he was the soul and spirit of the movement 
and had a natural ability for organization ; and, although there 
were other societies of which he was founder, he never allowed 
any of them to interfere with his love for the Fraternity. The 
early development of the order is largely attributable to his 
fostering care and effort in its behalf. His charm of manner 
and great earnestness of purpose made him always desired and 
conspicuous. 

The Fraternity began at once to flourish, when shortly 
after, in December, Hodge died of scarlet fever, and this sad 
event cast a gloom over the others. Notwithstanding this, the 
Fraternity grew rapidly. From accounts, for the records say 
nothing about it, they had no regular place for meetings for 
some time, but held them either at each other's houses or at 
some convenient hotel or restaurant. They finally secured 
rooms in a house on the east side of Tenth Street below South. 
This was not a convenient locality, and the premises were 
shortly vacated on account of a dispute between the landlord 
and the tenant, as the members of the Fraternity, being sub- 
tenants of the latter, became disagreeably connected as wit- 
nesses in a lawsuit. 

From here rooms were rented in a house which stood on 
the northeast corner of Eighth and Walnut Streets. While 
here the faculty suddenly became aware of the existence of the 
organization and were alarmed lest the nefarious schemes and 
practices, which they supposed were being carried on under cover 
of secrecy, should injure the reputation of the University. 
Threats of expulsion were made and the parents and guardians 
of the students were written to and the members summoned to 
attend in the faculty room and answer for themselves. When 
Dr. Mitchell was summoned, the Provost asked him, on pointing 
to his badge, "Why do you wear that piratical ensign?" As one 
of the members of that period has said, "So far as concerned 
the treatment of undergraduates, the order of the day was 
repression, restriction of liberty and enforced obedience to cast- 
iron rules. The faculty seemed to have set their faces against 
everything desired by the students. Too much afraid of inno- 



ALPHA CHAPTER. 45 

vations, they fought against changes at a time when any 
departure from the old habit would have been an advance in 
the right direction. The trustees followed in the same ruts." 

A printed circular was sent to all the parents and guard- 
ians of the students by the faculty and trustees, warning them 
against the pernicious influence and the dire results that would 
ensue from allowing their sons to join secret societies. 

This opposition only further inspired the efforts of the 
members to add to their number. Dr. Mitchell was a man of 
indomitable will and energy, and opposition on the part of the 
college authorities only had the effect of giving greater impetus 
to the cause. 

In 1852 the last member of the Academic Department had 
gTaduated and the only connection that was left with the Uni- 
versity was three members of the Medical Department. For 
nearly a year the existence of the order was precarious. Only 
medical students composed the membership, and many of them 
ceased to give much of their attention to the interests of the 
society. But here again Dr. Mitchell came to the rescue, and 
he, with a few of those who remained steadfast to the cause, 
initiated the next year, on the 23d of April, 1853, Henry Boyd 
McKeen, for the purpose of founding the Beta Chapter at 
Princeton College, which took root immediately and soon grew 
into a large and flourishing branch of the parent stem ; and on 
the 20th of December following, the Gamma Chapter at La- 
fayette College was founded by Stacy G-. Potts, of the Beta 
Chapter. Dr. Mitchell's connection with the medical profession 
brought him almost solely at this time in contact with students 
of the Medical Department of the University, and by reason of 
this the members were wholly initiated from that department. 
On the appointment of Dr. Mitchell to the staff* of the Phila- 
delphia Hospital many meetings of the Fraternity were held 
in his rooms at that institution, for now no hall was rented for 
the use of the chapter. During the year following, on the 5th 
of June, the Delta Chapter at Jefferson College, at Canons- 
burg, Pa., was enrolled among the list of chapters. 

Thus affairs ran on until the 17th of January, 1855, when 
six members of the College Department were initiated at Druids

\ 
Hall, on Fifth Street, corner of Adelphi. These were Robert 
H. McGrath, Charles E. Hacklcy, James Devereux, Samuel 
Dickson, J. M. McGrath and Alexander W. Mitchell. This 
initiation was conducted by Dr. Mitchell, William Cook, Morris 
J. Asch and William McCalla McKeen with great ceremony. 

From this the Fraternity took on a new existence with 
these six members of the Collegiate Department, and with the 
careful nursing of the founder. Dr. Mitchell, it began to grow 
rapidly. Its previous precarious life was now a thing of the 
past, and it started with renewed vigor on its career. The first 
four meetings after this reorganization were held in Phoenix 
Hall, Zane Street above Seventh Street. On the 10th of April, 
when the lodge of the chapter was located in the two front 
rooms, fourth story, of No. 42 South Eighth Street, four mem- 
bers were initiated — Henry A. Du Pont, C. E. Lamotte, William 
D. Stuart and Edward S. Whelen. These rooms were leased to 
Brother R. M. McGrath by Victor Reboul, a shoemaker, with 
the proviso "that the premises should not be used in any otiier 
manner than- as a quiet society." 

The first minutes of which there is any record began 25th 
of June, 1855, and are recorded in a book mostly in Dr. Mitch- 
ell's handwriting. On the 10th of January, 1856, the rooms 
on the third story of the same building were taken, where a few 
meetings were held. First of March, 1856, the chapter moved 
into two large rooms with large middle doors on the ground 
floor of No. 57 George (now Sansom) Street above Eleventh 
Street, next to Ashmead's Printing House. These rooms were 
handsomely fitted up. 

It was during March of 1857 that the Phi Kappa Sigma 
Magazine was started, and an unusually full attendance was 
had at the meeting when the first production of that paper was 
read by Brother Pechin, "causing an amount of satisfaction 
not expected." It was issued monthly. The front covers were 
embellished in pen and ink and water color drawings of various 
designs, with the symbols of the Fraternity. This was the work 
either of C. A. McCall or James Harrison Lambdin, the latter 
being an artist of no mean ability, and who painted a skull and 



ALPHA CHAPTER. 47 

bones resting on a book which he presented to the chapter and 
which now hangs in the chapter house and is one of the most 
cherished treasures. The magazine always had an editorial, a 
summary of the news of the different chapters condensed from 
the correspondence of the preceding month, one or two articles 
and a poem or two. It was all in manuscript. 

On May 16, 1859, the chapter moved from this locality to 
the second floor back of the building at the northeast corner of 
Tenth and Walnut Streets, which was reported by the Alpha 
of the chapter in his report to be inconvenient and the stay 
only intended to be temporary. In the fall of 1859 it removed 
to the southwest corner of Eighth and Sansom Streets, third 
floor, into very pleasant and commodious rooms, in which the 
chapter was better situated than ever before. It was here that, 
on the 19th of October, 1860, the tenth anniversary of the 
founding of the Fraternity w^as celebrated. The Alpha in his 
report congratulated the chapter upon the results achieved by 
the indefatigable efforts of that valuable officer — the Tau. "The 
comforts we are now enjoying, the adornments and conveniences 
of our hall, the quiet conscience (as we find ourselves almost 
relieved from debt) are all due to his alchemical powers of con- 
verting promises into ready cash." 

At the outbreak of the war from the early part of 1861 
the chapter was seriously broken up by reason of her members 
going to the front ; thirty members of Alpha Chapter entered 
the service. No minutes of the chapter appear between the 
16th of April, 1861, to 16th of November, 1863. They had no 
hall until 1862, when a few members attended meetings at 207 
South Sixth Street, and for a time all interest was given up 
and the prospects were indeed gloomy. In October of this year 
the chapter had only one member with whom to begin the 
session, with the popular notion that the Fraternity was entirely 
defunct. During this exciting period a correspondence was, 
however, kept up by Brother R. H. McGrath, the Upsilon, with 
a number of the chapters, and the Fraternity was kept alive by 
him, the only effective officer left to carry on the work of the 
Fraternity. Many letters were written and received by him 



48 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

to and from the field of battle, and from both sides in the con- 
flict. Many acts of kindness and brotherly affection towards 
each other demonstrated the efficacy of the strong ties that 
bound together the members of Phi Kappa Sigma. 

Those of the chapter who remained in Philadelphia during 
this period hearing that one or more of the Southern members 
were prisoners at Fort Delaware and in very destitute circum- 
stances, made up a box of clothing, eatables, etc., and sent them 
forward. Months afterward there were received through the 
mails on a piece of common brown wrapping paper a few lines 
(signed by Brother Anthony Sambola) stating that some of 
the Southern brethren in the Confederate Army had heard of 
this action, and that if they knew of any Phi Kaps in Southern 
prisons and would advise them, every effort would be made to 
render their situation as tolerable as their scanty means would 
permit. This little incident spoke volumes in behalf of Frater- 
nity combination and work. 

Subsequently rooms were rented at 207 South Sixth Street, 
and in the early part of ISG'l^ the meeting rooms of the chapter 
were located at Sixth and Walnut Streets (southeast corner, 
third-story front room). At this time the chapter was in the 
flush of success, having taken in seven men from the Depart- 
ment of Arts in the different classes. Meetings were now held 
after the time-honored custom. 

It was here that a notable entertainment was given to the 
"Orphan Chapter," a curious abnormal growth of our Frater- 
nity. This chapter was composed of a few men who had casu- 
ally found themselves in Baltimore together at the end of the 
war, and no two of them from the same chapter. The badge 
brought them together, however, and the "Orphans" did us great 
credit during their brief career. 

From Sixth and Walnut Streets the chapter again moved 
in January, 1867, to the third floor of 926 Chestnut Street, 
located directly opposite to the abode of the Delta Psi Frater- 
nity. These rooms were rented from Fonteneau & Salles, but 
were given up in June, 1868. No minutes appear to have been 
kept between December, 1867, and March, 1868. During this 



ALPHA CHAPTER. 49 

period initiations were held mostly at the house of Brother John 
Mercer McCall in DeLancey Place. The chapter appears to 
have been at low ebb at this period, but a room was rented on 
the fourth floor of 1017 Walnut Street about December 1, 1870. 
This hall was quite large, being 18 by 60 feet. From 1867 to 
the latter part of 1894 the chapter was domiciled in the third 
floor of the southeast corner of Tenth and Chestnut Streets. 

In November of 1871^ the chapter again moved to the third 
floor of 1343 Chestnut Street, next door to a then famous 
saloon known as "Finelli's," and where the Franklin Bank build- 
ing now stands. 

In those days the Phi Kaps dominated all the organizations 
of the classes from 1873 to 1879, and as a consequence the 
College Boat Club and the Athletic Association may be said to 
have had their origin in Alpha Chapter, because for several 
years in the early struggles of those helps to college life the 
officers and directors were mainly from our Fraternity. We 
worked well together for the common good of the University, 
and the result has shown the foundations to have been well laid. 
In 1877 the chapter moved to the third floor southeast comer 
of Chestnut and Juniper Streets, where the new building of the 
Tradesmen's Trust Company now stands. In 1879 Dr. Mitchell, 
the founder, died and left us the heavy oak chairs and sofa now 
in the present house, with other mementoes. A memorial meet- 
ing was held upon the occasion of the doctor's death in these 
rooms, the proceedings of which were printed and are among 
our archives. The chapter remained in this locality longer than 
at any other period in its history up to this time, and many 
pleasant times w^ere had. In the autumn of 1893 the rooms 
were on the second floor of the southwest corner of Thirteenth 
and Walnut Streets, which were occupied until the purchase of 
the present lodge. 

We have a comfortable chapter house, but one that is not 
worthy of its traditions and power, and the illustration in this 
Register represents the future home which will soon supply 
the needs and minister to the comfort of the members of the 
parent chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma.

It is a pleasure to record that the first official recognition 
of a college fraternity at Pennsylvania was the acceptance by 
the trustees in 1887 of a fund raised by the Alpha Chapter to 
establish a prize to be known as "Prize established by the Phi 
Kappa Sigma Fraternity in honor of its founder, Samuel Brown 
Wylie Mitchell." 

There are certain of Alpha's loyal men whose work in its 
interest stands o.ut conspicuously, but it were invidious to men- 
tion them here, for much as we commend their loyalty, it pleases 
us to think that if at any time a crisis arises there will always 
be found some loyal Phi Kap to step to the helm. 

Alpha's roll now contains three hundred and ninety-six 
names, and a glance through that list will show with sufficient 
clearness that this parent chapter has given some worthy repre- 
sentatives to all classes of the community, and that list will 
speak for itself.

BETA CHAPTER. 131 



History of Beta Chapter 

The history of the doings of the Beta Chapter are involved 
in the utmost obscurity, owing to the fact that at the time of 
the beginning of the existence of the chapter at Princeton their 
affairs had to be conducted with the greatest secrecy and care 
in order to keep the existence of the chapter unknown to the 
college authorities on account of the antagonistic attitude of 
the faculty to such organizations. The chapter was organized 
through the efforts of Dr. Mitchell, the founder, who took the 
first step towards the expansion of the Fraternity by initiating 
Henry Boyd McKeen for the purpose of founding the Beta 
Chapter at Princeton College, which was accordingly done on 
the 23d of April, 1853. 

In the early part of 1856 the chapter had rooms located 
about a mile distant from the town, but this fact soon became 
know^n, and in June, 1857, the president made the proposition 
to the members that if they Avould surrender the names of those 
composing the chapter, and assure him of their having dis- 
banded, he would allow them to return to the college at the next 
session. 

This they did most piously and were afterwards at ease in 
full enjoyment of their privileges as members of the Beta. Great 
secrecy was enjoined on the other chapters as to their existence. 
In 1864 Dr. McLean, the president, procured a list of all fra- 
ternities at Princeton and threatened to expel all who did not 
before a given time give up all connections with them. A com- 
mittee was appointed by Beta to confer with the Alpha Chapter 
as to the best course to pursue under these circumstances. 
They committed their charters and papers to the Alpha's care 
until the storm should blow over. The other chapters were 
requested not to correspond. Individual connection could not 
be broken, but as an organized chapter they could not exist. 



132 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

No records of this chapter appear to be in existence, and 
it is doubtful if any were kept in permanent form. Their 
meetings were held clandestinely, and many of the initiations 
were held in Philadelphia at the rooms of the Alpha Chapter. 
The students at Princeton College were not supposed to be 
members of any fraternity, so the proceedings were conducted 
suh rosa. 

On account of the limited membership, the meetings were 
very informal, but at the same time were no less enjoyable. 

The meeting room was in a two-story-and-a-half frame 
house, situated on a road leading down the hill toward the old 
railroad station, since moved away. The room was about 
10 X 12 feet in size, with a square pine table and half a dozen 
chairs and a wooden settee for the accommodation of the mem- 
bers. On the wall, in two or three places, the skull and cross- 
bones reposed on a black background, in size about 15 x 12 
inches. There were some sort of black hangings about the 
doors and windows, to give the room a sombre effect and to pre- 
vent the light from being noticed by passers-by on the outside, 
as it was reported that the members were being watched. 
Plenty of pipes and tobacco, but it was unanimously voted 
there should be no stimulants. Occasionally there were essays 
read and the regular proceedings of a society meeting. 

The opposition of the faculty continued so unrelentingly 
that all the fraternities who had chapters at Princeton were 
compelled to withdraw. Phi Kappa Sigma was among the last 
to relinquish its hold, no one being initiated after the Class oi 
1881 was matriculated.

History of Gamma Chapter 

Gamma, the third chapter to be founded, was established 
at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., on December 20, 185B, eight 
months after the foundation of Beta at Princeton. The short 
distance from Princeton to Easton, and the intimate relations 
existing between the two colleges, for the reason that both were 
under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, naturally led 
Beta to look toward Lafayette as the site of another chapter, 
and, upon assent of the Alpha Chapter, the chapter was duly 
founded. Stacy Gardner Potts, Jr., who had been initiated as 
a student at Princeton, entered Lafayette and gathered together 
the nucleus of the chapter. 

Gamma was the first chapter of any fraternity to enter 
Lafayette, and upon her fell the entire concentrated opposition 
of faculty and trustees. The official opposition in 1857 took 
the form of compelling every new student to take an oath at 
matriculation that he was not and would not become a member 
of a secret Greek letter society. Despite this, the chapter 
reported to the Convention of 1860 that it "continued to pros- 
per and from time to time initiated some of the first men in the 
institution." Prior to 1860 the trustees had withdrawn this 
oath, so that the delegate was able to report that "the dark 
clouds of the displeasure of the powers that be which hung over 
us have been dispelled, and the sunshine has broken through to 
light and cheer our pathway. . . . This odious, unjust 
and tyrannical act has been repealed and we stand to-day recog- 
nized and endorsed by faculty and students." 

For over twenty years Gamma pursued a career of great 
prosperity, numbering among her members many brethren who 
have since become well known in professional and business life. 
About 1880, however, the attendance at Lafayette had fallen 
off and the number of students considered available for member- 
ship were very small. This fact, coupled with the failure of 



154 I'll! KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

several undergraduates to return to college, reduced tlie chapter 
in 1882 to one active man. In the following year the Grand 
Cliapter formally withdrew tlie charter. The men of Gamma, 
however, all continue to display great interest and loyalty to 
the Fraternity. A number of them, located in New York, are 
among the most active members of the New York Alumni 
Chapter.

DELTA CHAPTER. i8i 



History of Delta Chapter 

On June 5, 1854, Delta Chapter was instituted at Jeffer- 
son College, Canonsburg, Pa., the oldest college in the United 
States west of the Allegheny Mountains. The installation was 
conducted by Samuel Smith, of Gamma Chapter, acting under 
a dispensation of the Alpha Chapter. The founders were J. 
W. Polk, of Maryland ; W. H. Pretlow, of Virginia, and H. W. 
Patterson, R. S. Graham, G. M. Houtz and J. T. Kyle, of Penn- 
sylvania, the last named of whom is the only living survivor. 
At this time there were chapters at Jeiferson of Beta Theta 
Pi, Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi, the last two fra- 
ternities being founded at Jefferson. 

On account of the rivalries and jealousies of these earlier 
fraternities there was serious faculty opposition to any further 
organizations of a similar character, so the chapter existed 
for a time sub rosa. But in 1855, soon after the beginning of 
the first college year of its life, there was a spirited contest 
on for orator in one of the college literary societies, which 
before it ended almost wrecked the chapter. For in the heat 
of the campaign one of its members so far forgot himself as 
to be guilty of unfraternal conduct of such a serious nature 
that the Alpha Chapter intervened and took action in the mat- 
ter. After careful consideration of the case the chapter was 
dissolved and four of its members expelled from the Fraternity. 

But the old spirit still lived and on March 8, 1855, the 
chapter was reorganized and a fresh start made. This rebirth 
made the members keenly alive to the honor and dignity of the 
Fraternity as well as to its associations and pleasures, and a 
quiet conservatism took hold of the young chapter, which 
began to increase with a steady and careful growth. It soon 
became the leading society at Jefferson and it has been the 
constant aim of its members in later years to preserve the 
pride of position it has always possessed.

Canonsbiirg was a quaint old country village in those days 
and chapter houses were unknown possessions. Most of the 
men roomed at a house about half a mile from the college on 
the road to Washington, and thus were associated together in 
bonds of closest comradeship. At the same time a chapter hall 
for meetings was maintained with great secrecy, as the fra- 
ternities of that day were wont to enhance the mystery of their 
fellowship as much as possible. Of the chapter in those days, 
Stephen C. McCandless, now a prominent attorney in Pitts- 
burgh, says : "While a freshman in the year 1858, it was my 
privilege to join the Fraternity. It had its representatives 
then in every college class, and, it seemed to me, there were more 
natural-born and thoroughbred gentlemen among them than 
any other body of students there similarly associated." 

One of the leading spirits of the chapter at this time was 
Chauncey Forward Black, who later became Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor of Pennsylvania and Democratic leader of that state. His 
father was Chief Justice of Pennsylvania and afterwards a 
member of President Buchanan's Cabinet, first as Attorney- 
General and then as Secretary of State. At the convention of 
the Fraternity held in Washington in December, 1858, Judge 
Black dined the delegates at his home and afterwards presented 
them to President Buchanan at the White House. 

The Civil War was a severe blow to Delta. Old Jefferson 
had drawn almost as lal-gely from the South as from the North, 
and at the outbreak of the war more than half of the students 
left college, some to enroll themselves under the flag of the 
Union and some to fight under the Stars and Bars. During 
the war nearly every man in the chapter fought on one side or 
the other, Delta furnishing nine officers to the Northern forces 
and eleven to the Confederacy. 

In 1865 Jefferson College was united with Washington 
College at Washington, Pa., only seven miles away, and the 
two colleges then took the name of "Washington and Jeffer- 
son," the principal seat of the college being at Washington. For 
several years after the consolidation, however, the buildings at 
both Canonsburg and Washington continued to be used. Ac- 



DELTA CHAPTER. 183 

cordingly the chapter initiated men from both institutions and 
maintained in reality a double organization. 

Delta recuperated quicker from the effects of the war than 
did the other fraternities, and as faculty recognition had been 
secured, it at once took front rank In the fraternity world. 
Since that time five other fraternities have established chapters 
at Old Washington and Jefferson, but the men of Delta still 
hold the place that is theirs by right of inheritance and present 
worth, the foremost representative of the local Greek Letter 
World. 

The chapter has had a house for Its members for upwards 
of twenty years now, and at the present time Is undoubtedly 
the best fixed in this respect of any In the college. Most of the 
men room in the house and all of them take their meals there. 
It is hoped that by the helpful co-operation of the Delta alumni, 
who are quite numerous and well to do, and with the approval 
of the Endowment Committee, that by September, 1911, the 
chapter will own a house, and continue to strive even more 
earnestly to Ha^c up to the best of its glorious traditions.

EPSILON CHAPTER. 225 



History of Epsilon Chapter 

On the 9th of November, 185tt, a charter authorizing the 
establishment of the Epsilon Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma 
Fraternity was granted to Emanuel H. Reigart, who together 
with John S. Tucker, Charles F. Himes and James D. Watters 
founded the chapter soon after the granting of the charter. 
Reigart had been previously initiated at his home, Williamsport, 
Pa., on September 5, by William L. Neff of Gamma Chapter. 

No exact records seem to have been kept of the Fraternity's 
existence during its first two or three years, since its life was a 
very precarious one and it had no regular meeting place. Its 
early history was similar to that of all the earlier fraternities 
at Dickinson College and perhaps most other colleges where 
they were introduced fifty or sixty years ago. A few years 
previous to the entrance of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity 
into Dickinson College the Zeta Psi Fraternity established a 
chapter there and for more than two years it had a vigorous 
existence, numbering at one time thirty-two members, some of 
them the leading men of the college ; but so great was the 
hostility of the faculty to all organizations of this kind that 
they succeeded in so effectually squelching* this one that it was 
never revived and Epsilon Chapter came near having the same 
experience. Notwithstanding the eff'orts of the members to 
maintain secrecy concerning the organization, the existence of 
the Fraternity was discovered by the faculty of the college 
and all of its members, under penalty of expulsion, were ordered 
to disband the chapter and cease all further activity in this 
direction. Foreseeing that something of this kind was likely 
to happen, they initiated Clayton C. Pennel who had not been 
before the faculty and therefore had not made any promise 
such as was exacted of the others, and he kept the organization 
alive until the storm had blown over. How well these promises 
were kept by the others is a matter of conjecture, since they 

15 



226 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

probably made them with certain "mental reservations," a pro- 
ceeding that is not unknown among college students even in 
this "enlightened age." 

It is a matter of record that the chapter held a meeting 
on the 21st of September, 1858, in a cornfield near Carlisle, 
since even then it was not deemed advisable to have any regular 
place of meeting. This meeting, however, did not pass off 
undisturbed, for hearing some noise in the vicinity they feared 
discovery and unceremoniously scattered in all directions, not, 
however, before they -had initiated Zebulon Dyer of the Class 
of 1859. Brother Dyer has the distinction of being the first 
graduate member of the chapter to die, being killed in. battle 
in December, 1861. At this same meeting it was agreed to 
disband after adjournment, subject to the call of the Alpha, 
so that if any of the members should be questioned they might 
say that they had belonged to a fraternity but that it was now 
disbanded. In November of this year a hall was procured for 
the meetings of the chapter and it is not likely that since that 
time the Fraternity has ever been without a "local habitation," 
certainly not for any considerable length of time. 

About this time the Fraternity seems to have been in a 
very flourishing condition, since among its members were ten 
members of the Class of 1857, eleven of 1858 and nine of 1859. 
Of these thirty men, eight still survive. It is perhaps worthy 
of mention that at this time the Fraternity's only rival was the 
Phi Kappa Psi, established here in 1859, and this rivalry, not 
to say enmity, has been kept up as a sort of tradition to the 
present day. One man who was initiated in 1859 had a dis- 
tinction probably unique in the history of fraternities here, in 
as much as he belonged to both of these fraternities at the same 
time. When this fact was discovered he was promptly expelled 
from the Phi Kappa Sigma. 

Since a large number of the members of Epsilon were 
Southerners, the chapter w^as almost broken up by the Civil 
War. A special meeting of the chapter was held on the 21st 
of April, 1861, for the purpose of bidding a formal farewell to 
the brethren from the South who felt compelled to withdraw 
from the college. 



EPSILON CHAPTER, 227 

On the moiTiing of the 21st, at ten minutes past midnight, 
the members gathered in Room 50, West College, and held a 
sort of love feast and experience meeting. All business was 
laid aside for the brethren to bid tlieir last adieu to each other, 
perhaps never to meet again. The occasion was a most solemn 
one and sad thoughts filled the breasts of all at parting with 
each other who were so strongly bound together by fraternal 
ties. The Alpha addressed the meeting in a most solemn and 
impressive manner, and many an eye filled with tears at the 
thought of parting. The meeting adjourned in silence and each 
went to his own room. Afterward some enlisted in the Northern 
and some in the Confederate service, and never met again. 

From this time forward the history of the Fraternity shows 
nothing remarkable. That the faculty of the college now began 
to look upon the evil as ineradicable seems probable from the 
fact that at least as early as 1863 the Fraternity publicly 
celebrated its "anniversary," which would not have been risked 
a few years earlier. About 1865 the Fraternity was again 
exceptionally strong. There were five men from the Class of 
1864, five from 1865 and seven from 1866. These figures will 
seem all the more remarkable when the additional fact is men- 
tioned that the Class of 1866 graduated only sixteen men. At 
this time, too, there were three other fraternities in the college, 
the Sigma Chi having entered in 1859 and the Thcta Delta 
Chi in 1861. 

About 1873 the college began to decline in numbers so that 
the catalogue of 1877-78 contains only fift3^-one names and in 
the meantime another fraternity, the Beta Theta Pi, had entered 
the field. Under these circumstances it became so difficult to 
keep up the chapter in accordance with its traditions that it 
was thought best to surrender the charter, which was accord- 
ingly done in 1877. Apparently no attempt was made to 
revive it until the spring of 1895. A few years previous to 
this time, a strong local fraternity, known as the Alpha Zeta 
Phi, had been organized in the college and when it became 
known that this organization was looking around for an oppor- 
tunity to enter some national fraternity, the "psychological 
moment" seemed to have arrived and negotiations were at once

begun Avliicli terminated in the rc-establishraent of the Fra- 
ternity by taking in all of the members of the local organiza- 
tion except perhaps one or two who did not care to belong to 
any fraternity. On the evening of June 3, 1895, were initiated 
about fifteen splendid fellows and the Fraternity has main- 
tained a high rank ever since and is now second to no other in 
the college either in numbers or influence, "our enemies them- 
selves being judges." 

The only other event that needs special attention is the 
erection of a chapter house. The movement for the erection

ZETA CHAPTER. 277 



History of Zeta Chapter 

Zeta Chapter was organized by William Lewis Neff, of the 
Gamma Chapter, while a student at law in the office of Colonel 
Reah Frazer at Lancaster. By a previous arrangement, Van 
Lear Perry, who had been at Lafayette College with NefF, met 
him there and entered Franklin and Marshall College, and they 
jointly instituted the chapter on the 13th of October, 1854, a 
charter having been previously granted by the Alpha Chapter. 

Although the majority of the first initiates died in the 
prime of their manhood, their lives bear the mark of distin- 
guished service, not only within the narrow confines of their 
particular homes, but service to the country at large. Their 
ardent devotion to life and learning, to duty and country, their 
manly virtues and unfaltering courage remind us of our solemn 
pledge to the high and lofty ideals which these founders baptized 
with their life's blood for our guidance and imitation. 

For fully twenty years Zeta Chapter enjoyed a prosperous 
and uninterrupted career. Although the college fraternity as 
such was in those days ingrata persona with the faculties every- 
where, and Zeta Chapter was no exception to the rule, but very 
little friction is reported in the minutes between the members and 
the higher powers. It is but natural that a secret organization 
of young men, by common consent, subject to stringent rules 
and regulations, should arouse the suspicion and criticism of 
many an honest and well meaning college professor. Those 
were the years of the first storm and stress of fraternity life, and 
many a chapter perished in the struggle. Those were the years 
in which the American college boy awakened to a sense of his 
own individual co-operation in his educational career; they 
mark an epoch in the history of our whole educational system. 
Crude, infantile and infrequent as the chapter meetings were in 
those years, primitive and unofficial as their meeting places 
seem to have been, there is no indication of lack of interest and 



278 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

enthusiasm. And when we read in the minutes of an October 
session of 1869 tliat the faculty liad increased its rigid sur- 
veillance over the fraternities, we find this followed by the 
resolution henceforth to hold fewer business meetings and more 
social gatherings to make the secrecy appear less conspicuous. 
Poverty was the lot of the men of that time, and the chapter 
had hardly ventured upon the renting of a hall. During the war 
3^ear of 1864 its chairs were confiscated and the carpet was sold 
for the payment of the rent, and the meeting had again to be 
held in some young lawyer's loneW office or perchance in the 
cellar of the Literary Society halls. But not daunted in the 
least, the boys went on somewhat in Plato's fashion to cultivate 
''eros" and "Dialegesthai" friendship and thirst for knowledge, 
and to hold anniversaries with great pomp, graced by the usual 
poem, the valedictory and the response. 

The interregnum of 1873-74, of which no minutes are 
extant, was followed by a second period of twenty years, with 
intervals between 1885 and 1887, 1891 and 1895. This is the 
period of the rise of the American university, with its accom- 
panying disturbances of college life and college learning. The 
old primitive conditions of fraternity methods and meetings had 
been outgrown, students became more choice in dress and man- 
ners and in the selection of men on the basis of new judgments; 
the meetings were suspended for months and years, because of 
the lack of men, but the spirit lingered on. Brothers, Hager and 
Keller with singular loyalty satisfied the requirements of the 
charter, until a better day dawned, and the opportunity of a 
more vigorous life had arrived. During the larger portion of 
this second period the chapter succeeded in renting and paying 
for a hall, in which they regularly met once a week, while in the 
first period meetings took place at long intervals of a month — 
rarely every two weeks. This period is, therefore, the period of 
closer fellowship, of solidification, of effort towards permanency 
on the basis of real estate. It was also the period when the rela- 
tion between faculty and fraternity grew more friendly, when the 
authorities began to see the educational value of fraternal life, 
and in the new universities fraternities spring up like mush-

rooms. It is, however, not until 1896, the beginning of the 
"modern period," that tlie cliapter becomes fully and perma- 
nently established as a prominent factor in the college com- 
nmnity. The names of the sainted Glase Gerhard, of Pilgram 
and DiefFenbach are pre-eminent in those days of reconstruction. 
We read in a minute of September 30, 1896: "A house was 
rented on West James Street, in close proximity to the college. 
Alread}^ fraternity life has advanced tenfold. All the boys voice 
the one sentiment that it is the only ideal college life. This eve- 
ning was a notable one for Zeta Chapter." For the last fourteen 
3^ears the number of active members has been greater than ever 
before, the Fraternity has become a disciplinary power in the 
college, it has become a great benevolent institution. In 1886 
the chapter contributed one hundred dollars towards the obser- 
vatory; in 1900 the same amount to the Science building, while 
individual members gave many thousands towards the building 
and its equipment, furnishing a professor's room. The Frater- 
nity reAaved and intensified the alumni's interest for the college. 
There are now four Zeta men on the Board of Trustees, and 
their contributions to the Endowment Fund amount to thou- 
sands ; Brother Charles F. Rengier besides thoroughly equipped 
the Geological Laboratory, which is named after him, and fur- 
nished the President's office. The latest phase in the develop- 
ment of Zeta's life centers in the struggle for the purchase of a 
home. Brothers Rengier, Hensel and Cochran have started the 
subscription list with handsome contributions and many of the 
younger alumni have followed suit. So far Zeta has been merely 
a factor in college functions; with a permanent home it will be 
an integral part of the city's spreading life.

ETA CHAPTER. 317 



History of Eta Chapter 

Eta Chapter was organized through the efforts of Robert 
H. Sterhng, of the Beta Chapter at Princeton, who entered the 
University of A^irginia, with authority to constitute a chapter. 
He, with Taylor Beattie, organized the chapter December 31, 
1854. Phi Kappa Sigma was the first college fraternity to 
enter the university, then the most influential in the South. The 
chapter was well established and has maintained a leading posi- 
tion ever since its institution. The original charter, though 
yellow with age, is still well preserved among the archives. 

During the years 1854-61 the university was very prosper- 
ous and each year brought an increase in the number of stu- 
dents, and the chapter prospered with the university. The 
records for the first three years are not in existence, and the 
places where the early meetings were held are unknown. It is 
supposed they were held in the rooms of the members. 

In 1855 the membership increased to such an extent that 
a committee was appointed to procure a meeting place and to 
draft a set of by-laws ; the latter provided for entertainment 
of a literary character, debates and original essays. Fines were 
imposed for neglect of duty. The members seemed to have 
taken a great interest in their literary efforts, as the reading 
of the essays occupied over an*hour, and there were very few 
excuses or fines. 

The hall had not as yet been secured, and the meetings were 
first held in Brother Beattie's rooms, which was No. 1 Blue 
Cottage, and just across from the university. 

In November, 1856, the efforts to secure a permanent 
meeting place were successful and a room was obtained in the 
Monticello House in Charlottesville, about a mile from the 
university. The chapter now prospered more than ever before, 
and by December they were compelled to procure two rooms, 
and have them made into one large apartment in order to 



3i8 PHI KAPPA SIGMA P PATERNITY. 

accommodate their members. From 1857 the records were kept 
ill a hirge journal, which is still in possession of the chapter. 
In 1858 new quarters were procured. This hall was on a cross 
street about one hundred yards from the Charlottesville post 
office. It was neatly and comfortably fitted up. The meetings 
were held weekly and generally lasted about four hours. Five 
or six associates from Delta, Epsilon, Kappa, Lambda and Mu 
chapters aflSliated with the Eta, and in the following year sev- 
eral additions were made to the roll. 

The approach of the Civil War disintegrated the chapter 
entirely, and the members entered the army, many of whom 
became prominent in that memorable struggle. Many brethren 
met face to face on the field of battle. Union and Confederate, 
but loyalty to Phi Kappa Sigma never faltered, as the following 
incident, one of many, indicates : Brother King, of Eta, wrote 
that he was made a prisoner in September of 1864 and met a 
brother Phi Kap (Dr. William F. Godwin, of Epsilon, then a 
surgeon in the Union Army), who was as kind as he could be 
in relieving his wants and in making him comfortable. He 
wrote. "I have never lost sight for a moment the principles of 
our old Fraternity, and though I was a rebel in the fullest ac- 
ceptation of that term, I have never been any the less a Phi 
Kap." It was not until the autumn of 1872, through the untir- 
ing efforts of Brother Leroy S. Edwards, that on Thursday, 
the 26th day of September, the chapter was reorganized. In 
June, 1866, Brother Edwards had been informed by a member 
of another fraternity that an ynsuccessful effort had been made 
by one or two Phi Kaps who had returned to the university, 
after four years' service in the Confederate Army, to revive 
Eta, and further that a number of the best men then at the 
university had joined in this move. However, nothing came of 
it, and in 1870 Brother Edwards met Brother Woolsey John- 
son, of Beta, in New York. They had not met each other since 
1860, but this lapse of time had not lessened their interest in 
Phi Kappa Sigma. Brother Johnson urged the reorganization 
of Eta, and soon after Brother Ferriere, then Grand Alpha, 
WTote to inquire if Eta could be revived. The opportunity 



ETA CHAPTER. 319 

offered and by autliorltj of the Grand Chapter, Brother Ed- 
wards initiated in Kichmond, D'Arcy Paul Morton, then a stu- 
dent at the university, and on his return to Charlottesville 
he, assisted by Brothers Jacob Michaux, of Powhatan County, 
Va., and Benjamin Whiteley, Jr., of Baltimore, soon placed 
Eta upon a firm foundation. The fortunes of the Fraternity 
could not have been placed in tlie keeping of worthier men. For 
a number of years the members held their meetings in a building 
outside the college grounds and later the chapter moved to a 
cottage in the immediate vicinity of the lawn of the university 
campus. 

In 1908 a gradual expansion forced them to seek more 
commodious quarters, and they rented a brick house on Daw- 
son's Row, where they are now domiciled. 

The chapter is now soon to be housed in a permanent 
chapter house of their own, the plans and specifications of 
which have been prepared and bids received for its erection. 
The close of 1910 should see the new Eta house well under way, 
if not completed. This will be the first instance of a chapter 
house built under the fund established by the Grand Chapter 
for such purposes. 

Old Eta has produced many distinguished alumni, among 
them a United States Senator from Louisiana, a Brigadier-Gen- 
eral of the United States Army, a United States Judge in Ala- 
bama, a Chief Justice of California, a Bishop of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church, a Solicitor-General of the United States, 
jurists of various state courts, and many others well known in 
the different professions. With a home the best at the uni- 
versity, her future is bright with promise of renewed prosperity.

THETA CHAPTER. 349 



History of Theta Chapter 

This chapter was founded the 1st of June, 1855, through 
the instrumentality of Charles W. Ross, of the Beta Chapter. 
At the time the charter for Centenary College was granted an 
epidemic of yellow fever was raging in Jackson, La., the town 
in which the college was located, which caused a general dis- 
persion of the students and prevented a complete organization 
of the chapter. But through the nursing care of Brother John- 
son F. McKneely, of the Eta, it soon became prosperous. In 
December, 1856, they had eighteen members. Their place of 
meeting was reported to be most suitable and secret. They 
subsequently had a fine hall, for which they paid $30.00 rent 
each session of the college year. Their badges were made in New 
Orleans and had silver skulls. In 1858 they had no hall. During 
this year several of the members who left college and resided in 
East Baton Rouge Parish, La., made an effort to form what 
th^ey called a "Vagabond" chapter. They sent forward a peti- 
tion to the Alpha Chapter for a charter, setting forth in glow- 
ing terms the prospects of forming such an organization, but 
the permission was not granted. 

The advent of several new fraternities, about this time, 
seriously hampered the prosperity of the chapter, and this, 
coupled with an outbreak of smallpox in December of 1860, 
caused a stampede among the students, which almost anni- 
hilated the chapter. The faculty had to suspend college 
exercises before the termination of the session. Upon the re- 
sumption of duties in the autumn, only three members comprised 
the chapter. 

In 1860 they held meetings every two weeks on Friday and 
had two essays and an oration delivered by members elected for 
that purpose. They had their hall in a two-story brick house 
over the Roman Catholic Church.

The chapter upon the approach of the war became disin- 
tegrated and adopted resolutions to the effect that "this Fra- 
ternity shall be one of white men and white men only," and sent 
them to the convention with the threat, that if they did not 
pass, the Theta would secede. 

It was from this chapter, through the efforts of Brother 
James W. Barrow, that the Phi Kappa Sigma College was 
brought into existence. In 1859 Brother Barrow moved to 
Monticello, Ark., and agitated the idea of founding a school at 
that place. He first obtained a charter from the State Legis- 
lature, and the act of incorporation was passed at the Twelfth 
Session of the General Assembly at Little Rock, entitled: "An 
Act to incorporate the Phi Kappa Sigma Male College." 
This act was approved February 21, 1859. (See page 249, 
Act No. 194. Acts passed at the Twelfth Session of the Gen- 
eral Assembly of the State of Arkansas, Little Rock, Ark.) 
The "college" was a two-story frame building, with the char- 
acters <]^ K 2 inscribed on the walls, and was designed to ac- 
commodate two hundred students ; it was really no more than a 
high school of the present time. After being in operation 
about two years, the building was used by the Confederate gov- 
erment as a storehouse for supplies, and was destroyed by fire 
during the raid of the Federal troops through that section in 
1864.

IOTA CHAPTER. 359 



History of Iota Chapter 

In 1853 several students at Columbia College (now Uni- 
versity) feeling that there were no fraternities in the college 
that they would willingly join, concluded to form a local society 
of their own on a more select principle. There were many 
resident members of the Alpha Delta Phi in New York, who 
urged them to apply for a charter from their society. They 
did so, and nearly two years having elapsed before any action 
was taken in the matter, they became disgusted at the delay, 
and just as an offer of initiation was prof erred by that frater- 
nitj'^, the}'^ became acquainted with Dr. S. B. Wylie Mitchell, 
the founder of Phi Kappa Sigma, and, already knowing sev- 
eral members of the Alpha Chapter, they resolved to become Phi 
Kaps. On the 10th of November, 1855, the Iota Chapter was 
instituted by Dr. Mitchell and Joseph Kay Caldwell, of the 
Alpha Chapter, in the fifth story of the New York Hotel. 

The lodge rooms were subsequently located in Room No. 
20, 483 Broadway, and were large, commodious and handsomely 
furnished. Most of the fraternities at Columbia had their 
rooms on this street, and while an attempt was made to keep 
the locality secret, it soon became known to the lady friends of 
the members, who took a great interest in the chapter and pre- 
sented to it several fine oil paintings. 

In October, 1857, they held meetings in Florence's Hotel, 
but subsequently moved to new rooms, and ones that gave gen- 
eral satisfaction, in the third story of No. 763 Broadway, which 
were said to be worthy of the increasing dignity of the Iota 
Chapter. In April of the following year these quarters were 
given up for the reason that they were not permitted to sing 
their songs as enthusiastically as they wished and were fre- 
quently desired to restrain their applause. This they could not 
do and outlined plans to occupy rooms on Madison Square on 
the corner of Broadway and Twenty-third Street. This plan 



30o PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

fell tlirough and the chapter became domiciled in a small but 
extremely cosy and convenient apartment at No. 54 Twelfth 
Street, two doors from Broadway, third story left hand door at 
the head of the stairs. The directions for the approach to 
those rooms to members, other than those belonging to the Iota 
Chapter, were ver^^ explicit, owing to the fact that the Delta 
Phis had their rooms just overhead, though tliey entered their 
room from Broadway and by a separate staircase. 

The chapter always celebrated ,the 19th of October, the 
anniversary of the founding of the Fraternity, with becoming 
dignity. Speeches were made, songs were sung, and toasts 
drunk to "Our Fraternity" and "The Day We Celebrate." In 
1859 the chapter adopted a regalia wdiich was reported to be 
very simple, "merely a royal purple velvet ribbon." 

A Bible presented to the chapter did duty as a support to 
the Skull, being alw^ays opened at the 133d Psalm, which begins, 
"Behold, how^ good and how^ pleasant it is for brethren to dwell 
together in unity." 

In March, 1860, a fire broke out in the building occupied 
by the chapter in the room adjoining the lodge. The brethren 
stood ready to take out the big box of archives with the other 
"Lares and Penates." The Delta Phis -came pelting down the 
stairs with their big box full of "mysteries," over which they 
posted a strong guard. The fire was soon put out, with a trifling 
damage. 

In May, 1860, the chapter moved to the top story. Room 
26, southwest corner Broadway and Twenty-first street, where 
they remained until 1866. The chapter was exceedingly pros- 
perous, and the membership in the different fraternities in Col- 
umbia College stood in January, 1862, as follows: Delta Phi, 
13 ; Delta Psi, 8 ; Psi Epsilon, 10 ; Phi Kappa Sigma, 17. The 
contest between the several fraternities in 1863 for commence- 
ment honors was very keen. The oration on the occasion was 
delivered by a Phi Kap with great success "amid thunders of 
applause and showers of roses." 

In May, 1863, the chapter again moA^ed their quarters to 
new rooms on the south corner of Washington Place and Broad- 
w^ay, and the situation was the best they could wish for. 



IOTA CHAPTER. 361 

111 1H64< a "Gazette" was publl.slieci, Addison W. Cliampney 
being its editor. T]ic hall of the chapter in December, 1865, 
was in Room 26, northwest corner of Broadway and Twenty- 
first street. During the ycnYs 1868 and 1869, the chapter 
divindled in membership, and initiated onl}^ one man in the Class 
of 1870. The chapter no longer occupied rooms, held no meet- 
ings, and came to an inglorious end by the graduation of its 
members. 

The chapter was re-established in 1905 through the efforts 
of Brothers Waldemar Eiic Mctzenthin, of Zeta, and Charles 
D. Tomkics, of ]\[u (who were at that time graduate students 
at Columbia), Avith the verj^ able assistance of the New York 
Alumni Chapter, of which Brother William McClure, Epsilon, 
^66, was then president. The charter members w^ere initiated at 
a meeting held at the Hotel Marie Antoinette on April 9, 1905. 
The ceremony was conducted by Brother Stevenson H. Walsh, 
Past Grand Alpha, assisted by the Grand Beta, Brother John 
P. Baer. Large delegations from the New York Alumni Chap- 
ter, and from Philadelphia and Baltimore attended, and it will 
probably be conceded that the meeting lacked nothing of the 
liilarity of the ancient chapter. 

Re-established lota's existence has been reasonably pros- 
perous from the beginning. Meetings were held at the rooms 
of various members until September, 1905, when the chapter 
rented the five-story house, 544 West One Hundred and Thir- 
teenth street, which it has occupied ever since. Its finances are 
supervised by an alumnus who audits the chapter's books 
monthly, and its energies constantly invigorated by an efficient 
chapter visitor. Brother James A. Taylor. The chapter early 
adopted an elaborate initiation ceremonial, adapted by Brothers 
Piel and Kirk, from the ancient Saxon trial ordeal, wdth modern 
improvements, which is used as an introduction to the official 
ritual. The chapter has revived the ancient institution of the 
"Iota Punch" and the "Regalia," the latter of which has since 
been adopted, in a modified form, by the Fraternity at large. 
The convention of the Grand Chapter was held at the Hotel 
Astor in New York, at the joint invitation of the New York 



362 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

Alumni and Iota Chapters ; of its success there can be no ques- 
tion. 

The chapter is, perhaps, the most cosmopolitan of the Fra- 
ternity, for it has drawn its membership from all sections of 
the United States, and, in addition, has at all times had, both 
as active members and as alumni living in the chapter house, 
men who had been initiated by other chapters. Perhaps, for 
this reason also. Iota has always prided itself on its hospitality, 
and has, at all times, considered it an honor to welcome brethren 
from other chapters.

History of Kappa Chapter 

Kappa Chapter was founded on July 1, 1856. Emory and 
Henry College, situated in Southwestern Virginia, gave promise 
at that time of becoming one of the leading institutions of the 
South. From its location it drew students both from the Atlantic 
States and from those west of the AUeghenies. Frank S. 
Findlay, of the Epsilon Chapter, visited the college, and it was 
through his efforts that the Epsilon Chapter was authorized to 
form the new chapter. Accordingly, the Alpha of that chapter 
initiated by letter George V. Litchfield, who, on the above date, 
signed and returned the obligation. He then associated with 
himself the others who became the chapter founders, and who 
were initiated in the latter part of November. Brother Litch- 
field subsequently became president of the Virginia and Ten- 
nessee Coal and Iron Company, and one of the foremost men 
of the South. 

Writing in 1910, Judge Patrick Rose Taliaferro, of 
Georgia, one of the surviving founders, says of the chapter: 

"The rules adopted for membership were very exclusive, 
which rendered the order quite unpopular with the student body 
as well as with some of the professors. Family connection and 
good character were closely scrutinized and, under severe tests, 
many were ineligible ; still there were .many who never made 
application, being unfriendly to a secret order. We were con- 
stantly under surveillance by the faculty and were only per- 
mitted to live as a matter of grace." 

As the chapter existence was necessarily sub rosa, its cor- 
respondence with the other chapters was carried on by the device 
of having its mail addressed to Samuel Snooks, Esq., a sup- 
posititious person, at Glade Springs, Va., the next station to 
Emory. As the postmaster at Glade Springs was a Phi Kap, 
the plan was easily carried out.

Under the conditions described by Judge Taliaferro the 
chapter lived until 1861, when, in common with all the Southern 
chapters, it disappeared in the vortex of Civil War. Practically 
all of its members saw service in the army and nearly all of 
these were commissioned officers. The great majority were on 
the Southern side, but one of the chapter, James P. Brownlow, 
a member of the well-known Unionist family of Eastern Ten- 
nessee, became Colonel of the First Tennessee Cavalry, U. S. 
Volunteers-, and subsequently Brigadier-General, U. S. Volun- 
teers. 

The termination of the war found the chapter extinct and 
the college in straitened circumstances, so that a revival of 
the chapter was not attempted. The surviving members, how- 
ever, continued their loyalty to the Fraternity and exchanged 
numerous letters. Their stationery and cards contained a cut 
of the badge, and it so happened in reconstruction days that 
several of such letters and cards, falling into the hands of recon- 
struction officials, were the cause of the arrest of the writers 
and recipients as alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan. It 
was not until the matter was brought to the attention of more 
intelligent officers that the matter was satisfactorily adjusted.

History of Kappa Chapter 

The Kappa Chapter, Lake Forest College, saw its incep- 
tion and brief history during the year 1893. 

Its short life permits little chronicling beyond sketching 
the fact of its birth and the cause of its early demise. 

During the early spring of 1893, following preliminary 
negotiations, six Lake Forest men were initiated into the Phi 
Kappa Sigma Fraternity by the Upsilon Chapter, and became 
the charter members of Kappa, the charter being issued shortly 
afterward. The initiation was held in the rooms of the North- 
western chapter at Evanston. Regular meetings were held and 
an already existing close fellowship among the chapter's mem- 
bers was strengthened in unity of interest and action. Several 
joint meetings were held with the Northwestern chapter, and at 
least one alumni dinner was attended in Chicago during the 
short time the chapter existed. 

Four men were gi^aduated with the Class of '93 and others 
left college on account of the prevailing financial conditions ; 
the decreased attendance of students occasioned by the panic 
caused the few members who remained to conclude that it was 
inopportune to undertake the upbuilding of the Fraternity in 
Lake Forest at that time, and the charter was surrendered. 

The men who formed the Kappa Chapter were the most 
representative and progressive students in Lake Forest at that 
time and were the dominant factor in all the college activities. 
They have taken honorable and successful positions in their 
several fields since graduation, and while their life as a chapter 
was so brief as to preclude marked affiliation with the great body 
of the Fraternity, they have always cherished the benefits of 
its fellowship and held its teachings in high esteem. 

No lack of loyalt}^, but rather the adversity of disjointed 
times, caused the early passing into history of an enthusiastic 
and promising chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma.

LAMBDA CHAPTER. 399 



History of Lambda Chapter 

The Lambda Chapter was instituted in the University of 
North Carolina on the 12th of November, A. D. 1856. Owing 
to the loss of the records incident to the Civil War, it is not 
known what circumstances led to the creation of the chapter, 
other than that application had been made on November 4, 
1856, to the Beta Chapter. The founders were Louis Mere- 
dith Jiggitts, Jr., Eustace Hunt, Nicholas Biddle Shannon, 
Augustine Burket Washington, David Short Goodloe, Edward 
Turner Sjkes. Of these Hunt was endeared to all by his kind, 
generous disposition and moral usefulness. Jiggitts, like Good- 
loe, lost an arm in the Civil War, and both died early from 
their wounds. Shannon, a giant in intellect, as well as stature, 
died soon after graduation. Washington was killed at the battle 
of Missionary Ridge. Sykes, a brilliant, successful lawyer, 
surviving the vicissitudes of war, full of honors, alone remains, 
a fine sample of the founders of the old Lambda, those skilful 
architects who "builded better than they knew." He was a life- 
long law partner with the lamented Humphries and instrumental 
in founding the Xi Chapter. Humphries and Goodloe founded 
the Nu Chapter at Lebanon, Tenn. It is impossible to describe 
how the little Spartan band that first unfurled Lambda's banner 
at the University of North Carolina in its golden age defended 
with heroic courage the noble cause of Phi Kappa Sigma during 
her fierce struggle for existence there. With seven fraternities 
established at the university before the Lambda was organized, 
the young chapter encountered much opposition, and being very 
exclusive in selection, her numbers were never large. When 
there were over four hundred and fifty students on the college 
rolls it never numbered over twenty-five. The men were always 
high-toned gentlemen and took high rank in the university. 
Thus the chapter was uniformly prosperous until the advent of 
the Civil War, when practically every student went into the

army, and with the graduating class of sixty-one Lambda's 
chapter organization was broken up and her star that rose at 
first, "obscurely bright, set * * * one unclouded blaze of 
living light !" 

The chapter was reinstituted on April 26, 1877. To 
Joseph Clay Powell the Fraternity is indebted for the revival. 
Although the chapter was revived suh rosa, it was done under 
most auspicious circumstances, as there were no other fraterni- 
ties there. It had the selection of tlie most desirable material 
from the whole student body as her own, as the subsequent 
history of the membership in the varied walks of life well shows. 
Thus for several years the chapter was very prosperous. Then 
untoward conditions forced the necessity of applying for recog- 
nition from the trustees of the university ; the ban against fra- 
ternities was then removed ; others rushed in, with consequent 
strong rivalry in opposition. Lambda, however, alwa^'^s main- 
tained the personnel of her membership on a high plane to the 
end. Nevertheless, the presence of so many other fraternities, 
combined with a decrease in the number of eligible men at the 
university in the early nineties, and the unfortunate failure of 
most of the chapter to return to college, reduced the active 
membership to a few men for several years. To these troubles 
was added a rule preventing men joining a fraternity until the 
middle of Sophomore year. Finally but one man remained 
in college, and the unequal struggle terminated in the regrettable 
loss of the chapter. 

Lambda has the distinction of having the first chapter 
house in the Fraternity, it being a small wooden building erected 
in 1887 and used by the chapter until its disintegration, when 
the property reverted to the university. 

Among Lambda's alumni are men prominent in all phases 
of activity. She has given to the country many soldiers, lawyers, 
physicians and educators, among them the President of the 
University of Virginia, the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of 
East Carolina, a Judge of the United States Court in Cali- 
fornia, a Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, and 
of the Superior Court of Washington.

MU CHAPTER. 427 



History of Mu Chapter 

Througli the combined efforts of our late Brothers Anthony 
Sambola and Peter C. James, of Theta, and William S. Vaughan 
and Johnson F. McNeely, Mu Chapter was established 
at the old University of Louisiana (now Tulane University) 
on January 14, 1858, and the initiations were held in the office 
of W. S. Vaughan on the evening of the same day the charter 
was received. Six members were initiated. 

During the life of this original chapter twenty-six men 
were initiated and twelve others affiliated. The chapter held 
weekly meetings and had many interesting features. jNIost of the 
old records are in the possession of the present chapter and fur- 
nish an interesting history of fraternal interest oA^er fifty years 
back. The regular order of business included the reading of 
essays, poems, addresses, debates and contributions to an oracle. 
The oracle was a tin box in which anonymous literature was 
deposited at any time and was consulted at meetings. So 
many contributions were received that they had to be classified 
before the meetings. One member contributed his "monthly 
wit," another his "weekly oracle by George Dimeworth," and 
others contributed by the "Quarterly Poet" appeared. 

It is to be remembered that the above all happened between 
the years 1858 and 1860. The Civil War came and on Decem- 
ber 14, 1860, a resolution w^as adopted to appoint a committee 
to frame an address to the chapters concerning the course to be 
pursued in case of a dissolution of the Union and to send a copy 
to each chapter and several copies to the convention then about 
to be held in New York City. The war put an end to the 
activities of the Southern chapters, and Mu shared the fate with 
the others. 

The university buildings were seized upon by the United 
States troops and converted into a school and all the furniture, 
ornaments and most of the papers and records of the chapter 



428 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

were plundered and confiscated. Fortunately, just when the 
city was captured, the tm box containing a few valuable papers 
was rescued and placed in the house of A. J. Lewis for safe 
keeping. 

To our knowledge there remain out of the thirty men who 
guided the destinies of early INIu but two survivors, Brothers 
Maunsel White Chapman and Alfred Joshua Lewis. 

On February 16, 1867, an informal meeting (records show 
five members present) was held in an effort to reorganize Mu 
Chapter, but it was not until November 23, 1893, that a re- 
organization of the chapter was effected, and this w^as brought 
about through the efforts of Anthony Sambola. The life of 
this chapter was short and few records of its work are on hand. 
Some fifteen men from the Law and INIedical Departments of 
Tulane University were initiated during the two years during 
which it existed. 

Fortunately, however, both during the period of inactivity 
from the Civil War to 1893 and following the disintegration of 
the second chapter, the charter was not withdrawn, but remain- 
ing outstanding in the custody of Brother Sambola. In 1900 
he saw^ the opportunity^ of again raising the standard, and 
accordingly, on December 3, 1900, accomplished the revival by 
the initiation of Louis C. Datz, Philip W. Bohne, Frank E. 
Powell, Jr., and Marcel Garsaud, and thus Mu Chapter began 
her third and, it is to be believed, permanent career of activity. 

The convention held in Richmond January 1 and 2, 1904, 
authorized the formation of the New Orleans Alumni Chapter. 
This organization has for its purpose the fostering of frater- 
nity ideals and does this through energetic co-operation with 
the active members of Mu. 

In 1908 the semi-centennial of the chapter was celebrated. 
Let us hope that another fifty years will see a record without 
the interruptions which have characterized the first half century.

History of Nu Chapter 

Founded by William Washington Humphries, Jr., and 
David Short Goodloe, of the Lambda Chapter, on May 10, 
1859. 

They wrote to the Alpha Chapter just after organization 
that their expenses procuring and furnishing a hall for the sum 
of $100 per annum, getting pins, etc., had fallen pretty heavily 
upon them. 

The membership was confined almost exclusively to the 
students in the Law Department, owing to the fact that 
Humphries and Goodloe were law students. They, however, did 
take in some men from the College Department. 

Their badges were of gold with white enameled letters. The 
chapter was short-lived, and in March, 1861, they were forced 
to suspend, so few students being in attendance upon college 
duties owing to the troublous times just setting in. "The whole 
South was in a perfect blaze," writes one of their members, and 
he says, "If ever I meet a Phi Kap on the field of battle, or 
anywhere else, I shall always extend to him the hand of a 
brother." 

Efforts were made to revive the chapter in December, 1866, 
but they were futile. The charter and papers were lost during 
the war.

History of Xi Chapter 

Xi, the last but one of the ante-bellum Southern chapters, 
was founded at the University of Mississippi by Edward Turner 
Sykes, of Lambda, who entered the Law Department of the 
University of Mississippi in the fall of 1858, and at once gath- 
ered together the nucleus of a proposed chapter, to whom a 
charter was granted in the following year, and the chapter in- 
stituted on December 2, 1859. The chapter had a commodious 
and suitable hall in the second story of a then new building in 
the town of Jackson, adjacent to the university, and was the 
only fraternity that had permanent quarters. The charter was 
framed and hung in the hall. Four fraternities were already 
there: Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Psi, Sigma Chi and Phi 
Kappa Psi. Despite this fact and also notwithstanding the 
customary faculty opposition of the time, men of high per- 
sonnel were obtained for the chapter. Its active career, how- 
ever, was short, on account of the war. Its delegates appeared 
at but one convention, that of 1860 in New York, and by 1862 
its members had all left college. Of the sixteen men initiated at 
Xi all entered the Confederate service. 

The campaigns of 1862 and 1863 raged throughout Mis- 
sissippi, the university was closed and the archives of Xi were 
secreted for safety and later burned, so that nothing is known 
of its records. Later the turbulent political conditions in Mis- 
sissippi during the years succeeding the war rendered it impos- 
sible to revive the chapter at that time, and no effort was made 
subsequently. The last survivor of the chapter was Dr. John 
Perkins Furniss, of Selma, Ala.

History of Omicron Chapter 

This chapter was established by the Delta Chapter through 
their members, Joseph Venable Morton, Winchester Hall Stuart 
and William Francis Singleton, who were all residents of Ken- 
tucky. Brothers Stuart and George C. Thompson, also of 
Delta, presented tlie application November 8, 1859, from Centre 
College, Danville, Ky., for a charter, and the chapter was in- 
stituted in January, 1860. The charter and seal were sent 
them from Pliiladelphia, but were burned while lying in the 
express office in a general conflagration of the town. 

The students composing the chapter were reported by one 
of the professors to be "the flower of the college." 

This chapter had a short life, being disintegrated by the 
coming on of the war, and a letter written on the 19th of April, 
1861, reports that they are "all leaving on account of the war." 

During the war the college property was in the alternate 
possession of both armies, and after its close was the subject 
of dispute between the separated synods of the Presbyterian 
Church of Kentucky. At this time efforts were made by some 
of the former members to revive the chapter, but without any 
result.

History of Pi Chapter 

In 1863 Henrv Franklin King entered Dickinson College, 
where he joined Epsilon Chapter, following in the footsteps of 
his brother, General Horatio C. King, still active in his interest 
in that chapter. 

In 186-i he left Dickinson and entered Harvard, where 
he found fraternities under the ban of the college authorities. 
Nothing daunted, however, in 1865, with Henry Levan Bun- 
stein, of Easton, Pa., and Samuel McKee, of Danville, Ky., 
who were respectively members of Gamma and Omicron chap- 
ters, he founded Pi Chapter, for what he hoped would be a long 
life, but congenial spirits were not many and the growth was 
slow. Nine members were admitted in 1865-66 and three having 
affiliated from the other chapters, as noted above, composed the 
chapter of twelve members. Tliey held the usual meetings, but 
the ban was too much for them, and subsequent events recall 
only the returning of the charter, constitution and other records 
to the Grand Chapter soon after 1868. 

This is the roster, but the asterisk is steadily marking the 
passing of the few brothers 

To that distant, unknown shore. 
To that land of peace and gladness 
On that lovely Eden shore.

History of Rho Chapter 

This chapter was instituted in 1865, at Austin College, 
Huntsville, Texas, through the efforts of William F. Perrie, of 
Epsilon, who became a professor in the college at the close of 
tlie Civil War. It was thought that a new college in the new 
State of Texas would be little affected by the prostration gen- 
erally existing in the South, and that the chapter would grow 
vvith the college. Accordingly it was founded with four initi- 
ates and the affiliation of John Nicholas Galleher from Eta 
Chapter. Scarcely had the chapter's existence begun when 
an epidemic of yellow fever swept over the college and caused 
its closing for an indefinite period. Despite its almost abortive 
career the few men initiated rose to positions of prominence, 
one of them, Charles F. Tucker, becoming one of the foremost 
jurists of the state. Brother Galleher entered the ministry of 
the Protestant Episcopal Church and became Bishop of 
Louisiana.

History of Rho Chapter 

Rho Chapter, Phi Kappa Sigma, was organized and se- 
cured its charter October 29, 1892, at the University of Illinois. 
John W. Arnold, Jr., of Upsilon, came to the University of 
Illinois from Northwestern Chapter, and was instrumental 
in the organization of Rho, and in securing its charter. 
The chapter was started under manifold difficulties, for at 
that time the attendance at the university was very small, — 
not exceeding over six or seven hundred men, consequently it 
was very hard to get the right kind of material, and if the 
selection had been wider, perhaps the chapter would not have 
ceased to exist as an active body or organization in the year 
1894. Brother Arnold was very particular to get only the 
right kind of men, but as happened, almost all the charter mem- 
bers, and the men joining shortly after the institution of the 
chapter, left the university for various reasons, — some gradu- 
ating, and some going into business, so there was not enough 
members left to continue the chapter at that time. Brother 
Wells Cook, and other men of Northwestern University, as- 
sisted Brother Arnold in the initiation, and the organization of 
the chapter. The chapter had fine rooms located in the K. P. 
Block. 

Rho Chapter is to be congratulated upon how well all the 
charter members and the men joining about that time, have 
succeeded in their chosen profession or line of business, and 
also that the charter for Rho was never recalled, thereby mak- 
ing it easier for the reorganization of the chapter. 

The reorganization of Rho, after several years of inaction, 
was accomplished mainly through the efforts of Brother Charles 
R. Rounds, of Alpha Theta. Brother Rounds had come from 
the University of Wisconsin in the fall of 1901, with all of his 
characteristic Phi Kap enthusiasm, to occupy a position on the 
faculty as instructor, having charge of the department of ora- 



488 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

tory and public speaking. Alpha Theta Chapter had been 
installed at Madison in December, 1901, and Brother Rounds 
had been initiated a cliarter member there. Coming to Illinois 
full of the spirit and zeal of Phi Kappa Sigma, he became 
deeply interested in the fraternity situation. 

After considerable correspondence with the Executive 
Board through Brother Frank B. Bower, Brother Rounds 
learned that the charter of Rho had never been recalled by the 
Grand Chapter; that the reorganization of the chapter would 
be entrusted to Brother Rounds, and two loyal resident Phi 
Kaps, Brothers Boggs and Trevett ; and that a vote of the 
several chapters of the convention would not be needed to re- 
instate the chapter. Very much encouraged with the outlook, 
and assured that the existence of Rho had never completely 
ceased. Brother Rounds, assisted by Brothers Boggs and Tre- 
vett, worked steadily with one end in view, — the rallying of the 
chapter, — with such success that on December 6, 1902, six mem- 
bers were initiated, thus effecting the revival of the chapter. 

The chapter then held regular meetings S2ih rosa, most of 
the time at the home of Brother Clyde Stone, on the corner 
of Goodwin Street and Springfield Avenue in Urbana. Rho 
Chapter owes a tribute to the Brothers C. E. and H. ]M, Stone 
for their generous spirit and for their vigorous, manly efforts 
toward the upbuilding of the character and the formation of 
the ideals of the chapter. For a time it was thought advisable 
not to announce the reorganization to the university commu- 
nity. On account of this, an interesting period in the growth 
of the chapter began. Meetings were quietly held for entertain- 
ment and rushing. New men were gradually attracted by the 
good fellowship of their entertainers, and the forcefulness of the 
little band was beginning to make itself felt in college affairs. 
It is interesting to note that Rho made headway from the first, 
as is attested by the records of the chapter. 

Rho having survived the difficulties attended to which every 
young chapter is confronted, and having weathered the storm 
and tempest of reorganization, now has a firm and strong hold 
on the destinies of the present, and a yet more iron-clad clasp 
on the fortunes of the future.

History of Sigma Chapter 

Sigma Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity was 
established at Lehigh University, January 20, 1870, by the 
following brethren : William W. Curtin, son of ex-Governor 
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, now living in Philadelphia ; Russell 
Hancock, a son of General Winfield S. Hancock, now deceased; 
Henry W. Morgan, now deceased ; Allen K. Rham, of Pitts- 
burgh, Pa., now deceased; Henry Bidlack Reed, A.B., M.D., of 
Milford, Pike County, Pa. ; Francis S. Drinkhouse, of Easton, 
Pa., and Charles G. Weaver, now deceased. 

The institution was conducted at Easton, Pa., under the 
auspices of the Gamma Chapter at Lafayette by Brothers H. L. 
Bunstein, Lucian W. Doty and J. S. Gantz, the committee 
appointed by the Grand Chapter. It had a flourishing condi- 
tion up to 1880, when the university being in not a very 
prosperous condition, it was thought advisable to withdraw. 
In the fall of 1882 an endeavor to re-establish it was made, 
but it lasted only a short time. The members have been 
thought well of by their Alma Mater. Two, viz.. Brother 
Henry R. Price, C.E., M.D., of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Brother 
Charles L. Taylor, M.E., of Pittsburgh, Pa., are members of 
the Board of Trustees. 

Brother Taylor is also the chairman of the Carnegie Hero 
Relief Fund; and Andrew Carnegie, who built the dormitory 
lately at Lehigh University, named it Taylor Hall, after him. 

Brothers W. H. Baker, R. W. Mahon, H. F. J. Porter, H. 

B. Reed, W. M. Scudder, C. L. Taylor have been presidents 
of the Alumni Association. Brothers W. H. Baker, A. A. Herr, 
H. F. J. Porter, H. R. Price, H. B. Reed, W. M. Scudder and 

C. L. Taylor have been on the Board of Trustees representing 
the alumni.

TAU CHAPTER. 51^ 



History of Tau Chapter 

From its inception Tau Chapter has always maintained a 
unanimity of ideals which has made for the character and stand- 
ing of its members. Springing as it did from poverty and dis- 
tress at the close of the war, sustained by mere boys whose ad- 
versities had made of them sober-minded men of purpose, the 
auguries could easily forecast Tau's career — a career of success. 
In latter days, as the Fraternity grows older, more advanced 
and systematic methods, indeed, are used : the sons Tau has 
weaned are now scattering about, making strongholds all over 
the state, whence come good men to Randolph-Macon, — always 
properly charged with the right attitude towards Phi Kappa 
Sigma. 

Brother Frank FoUansbee, now the only living charter 
member of Tau, assures us that he is "yet full of youthful 
spirits" and continues interestingly to speak of the founding 
of Tau : "My room-mate, Westwood Smith Armistead, of Rich- 
mond, in a conversation with Mr. Leroy S. Edwards, of that 
city, who had been a member of our club at the state univer- 
sity — Eta Chapter — was asked about club matters at Randolph- 
Macon College ; he told Mr. Edwards that he thought some 
good club material could still be found, notwithstanding the 
preA^ous establishment of two fraternities. It was found and 
we organized — a choice lot of ^^oung men. Mr. Edwards 
seemed immensely pleased with the personnel of the new mem- 
bership ; and he was a gentleman of broad culture and fine 
scholarship; a flower of that old regime whose flavor I hope 
will forever fill the social atmosphere of this wondrously fair 
and dear old Virginia. 

"Two little rooms in the new and yet uncompleted Literary 
Society Building were shared by all the secret societies of the 
college." Then follows an interesting description of the per- 
sonnel of that first chapter and some of its first "goats." 



520 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

"Lear and Edwards had been in the army. The former 
was liandsome and smiling; tlie latter good-natured, modest; 
but had the sturdy look of the legionary soldier. Beirne was 
slender and shrinking as a girl. Baskerville had the dignity 
of a Roman senator. 'Jack' Wardlaw was our silver-tongued 
orator. Powell was sedate, yet a fiery speechmaker." 

At this time the bachelor's degree could be attained only 
upon the completion of every ticket in college; men were fre- 
quently affiliated for six to eight years. In the early eighties, 
consequently, some of these same undergraduates were in col- 
lege. The chapter in its infancy ranged in membership from 
seven to eleven men ; later the number grew less ; in 1885 there 
were only three or four active men in the chapter; in the ten 
years that followed the chapter enlarged from a membership 
of two at one time to a flourishing twelve. Within the last 
decade the membership lias grown to sixteen. 

Since early times the chapter has had trouble getting sat- 
isfactory quarters for meeting purposes. The old library build- 
ing will be remembered by early graduates. Later, rooms were 
taken over Hughes' drug store (now the Hanover Bank). 
From here to ClifF Lee's at the corner opposite the campus ; 
then to the upper floor of Meyburg Hall. Within the past 
year, due largely to the efforts of Brother Prichard, the chapter 
was enabled to renovate and furnish a cottage just opposite the 
college athletic field. This is the present home of the chapter; 
with its reception hall, banquet hall, loafing room and meeting 
room, it forms an immediate contrast to Tau's former homes 
and bids fair to keep Tau Chapter at the top of the fraternity 
world at Randolph-Macon.

UPSILON CHAPTER. 551 



History of Upsilon Chapter 

Thirty-eight years ago, July 8, 1872, Upsilon Chapter 
was organized. Brother James Clarence Ernst, then of the 
Class of 1873 in Princeton University and at that time an 
active and enthusiastic member of Beta Chapter, installed Upsi- 
lon. He is still living, and resides at Covington, Ky. To 
John Milton Dandy, 1873, deceased, must the real credit be 
given as its founder. Early in 1870 Brother Dandy learned 
of Phi Kap's existence and standing. He determined that the 
Fraternity he knew and regarded so highly must have a chapter 
at Northwestern. There was then but one other fraternity 
actively in existence at the universit}^ Brother Dandy — blessed 
be his ashes — was a natural organizer. He surrounded him- 
self with the necessary charter members. All were imbued with 
the thought that closer personal relations would foster good 
fellowship and promote their mutual interest. Loyalty and 
fraternity and brotherhood they all had in a marked degree. 
A plain but comfortable meeting place was provided. Early in 
1872 the chapter had only one room for a hall, but subse- 
quently they had the owner of the building divide into two 
rooms a large space that had been used for storage purposes. 
A lease was executed for these quarters, which were occupied 
for some time. In 1876 the parlors and reading rooms of the 
Masonic Fraternity were rented. These were not as large as 
the former quarters, and the former elaborate initiations had 
to be somewhat curtailed to suit the conditions. There 
the members had a varied and more or less prosperous existence 
for a number of 3^ears. Right from the start did Upsilon 
Chapter demonstrate its worth. It was well born. Its mem- 
bers were all prominent in university activities, and continue 
so to be down to this day. Though never large, the personnel 
of its members has always been such as enabled the chapter 
to proceed along broad and generous lines. The personality 



552 PHI KAPPA SIGMA PRATERNPrY. 

of its membership has, during all these eight and thirty years, 
been its real strength. Upsilon men are measured for what 
they are — what they have in heart and head. Upsilon Chapter 
has never sought the leadership qf the Greek world at tlie 
institution wliere it is located. It has time after time been 
the leader without the seeking. By sheer force of the excel- 
lent standing of its men has Upsilon had its being year after 
year. Never numericall};^ great, but in all that counts in real 
fraternity spirit, personal liberty, democracy and the good 
fellowship of good men Upsilon Chapter has always been an 
acknowledged leader at Northwestern. To-day it lives in a good 
chapter house — not its own propert}?^, 'tis true— but the day 
is not far away when it will have its own chapter home. For 
years the chapter was miles away from its nearest brother 
chapter. Upsilon is the parent of the chapters of the Fra- 
ternity in the Middle West States. Upsilon Chapter has had a 
successful existence from the start. Many are the names on 
its roster who in life occupied commanding positions in the 
world's work. To-day in all the professions, in private business 
life and in public affairs are numbered Upsilon men — men who 
are proud, first, that they are Phi Kaps ; second, that Upsilon 
Chapter brought them into the Fraternity. The history of 
Upsilon is to a great degree the history of its members. It is 
impossible to say too much for the loyal, good and true fellows 
who have gone into the world's activities through the medium 
of Upsilon Chapter. The reason is patent enough. The men 
are true to the ideals of Phi Kappa Sigma.

History of Phi Chapter 

The 15th of Januar}^,. 1873, was the natal day of Phi 
Chapter. The esteemed Leroy Summerfield Edwards, Eta, '58, 
was its father. 

Prior to the war onl}'^ two chapters of the Fraternity 
existed in Virginia, and they were Eta, at the University of 
Virginia, and Kappa, at Emory and Henry College. These 
chapters became dormant because of the terrible war, and 
Kappa never again became active. In 1872 Phi Kappa Sigma 
in Virginia was revived. Tau Chapter was established in Jan- 
uary, Eta was reinstituted the following September and Phi 
was chartered four months later. In this reawakening the 
ardent Brother Leroy S. Edwards was the moving spirit. 
Stories of his zeal and generosity are yet told with our tradi- 
tions. However lustrous tlie dream that actuated him in his 
work of reviving Eta and establishing Tau and Phi, he could not 
have foreknown the full meaning of what he did. The institu- 
tion which he transplanted is as yet only in its childhood. Its 
life should be as eternal as the spirit of brotherliness in the 
bosom of man. It should become increasingly exalted as the 
opportunities w^iden for the manifestation of this spirit. 

In the fall of 1872 a friend of Brother Edwards enrolled 
in law at Richmond College. To him he presented Phi Kappa 
Sigma with the purpose of establishing a chapter. Through 
this friend another law student was enlisted, as also were two 
academic students, and in January of the following year appli- 
cation for a charter was presented to the Grand Chapter. They 
were fellows of sterling worth and are to-day respectively as 
referred to above — Judge Addison L. Holladay, of Richmond; 
Judge Thomas M. Alderson, of Abingdon, Va. ; Professor 
George Swann, of Danville, Va., and Professor Patrick Henry 
Eager, of Clinton, Miss. 

The first year the chapter consisted of eight men. It

prospered throiig]i three sessions, but, for reasons not altogether 
plain, then suffered a suspension. The circumstances as 
obtained are these : All the charter year men left college the 
second year afterwards. The men that were left the third year 
were medical students and entirely outside of Richmond College. 
Eight years later, ISS'Jt, through a committee from Tau Chap- 
ter, the chairman of which was General C. C. Vaughan, of 
Franklin, Ya., Phi was revived. At this time Brother Nelson 
S. Groome, a most intimate friend of Brother Vaughan, was a 
matriculate at this college. By these two old Phi was again 
started on her course of prosperity. She is now in the waters 
of her thirtieth voyage, manned by a crew of nine men. 

Never was the chapter recognized more absolutely as the 
par excellence Greek letter society here than at present. But 
outside of the immediate chapter, Phi has a tower of strength 
in her loyal alumni, and especially those in Richmond.

History of Chi Chapter 

The institution of Upsilon Chapter at Northwestern Uni- 
versity in 1872, marked the entrance of the Fraternity into 
the middle west. Naturally its early members wished for neigh- 
boring chapters, and in looking for a suitable college their 
attention was directed to Racine College, located at Racine, 
Wisconsin, an institution founded by the Protestant Episcopal 
Church in 1852. Negotiations with students there led to an 
application which was favorably acted upon by the Fraternity 
and a charter granted on March 10, 1873. The chapter, 
christened Chi, was instituted by Arch B. Eldridge, of Beta, 
and John M. Dandy, of Upsilon. The Fraternity was the first 
to enter the college, and from the beginning its existence was 
sub rosa, owing to faculty prohibition. Nevertheless, the chap- 
ter flourished for a brief period and initiated in all eighteen 
members. In a few years, however, its presence was discovered 
and its life terminated by the rigorous enforcement of anti- 
fraternity legislation.

This cliapter was started through the instrumentality of 
Edward F. Mordough, of Gamma, who, acting under authority 
of the Grand Chapter, installed the chapter on May 19, 1876, 
assisted by several other members of Gamma. The entrance 
of tlie Fraternity into a purely professional school, not con- 
nected with an}' academic institution, was a mistake. The 
absence of a proper scholastic atmosphere was an insurmount- 
able handicap. The location of the college in a large city and 
the lack of any student life destined the chapter to speedy 
extinction. It maintained a struggling existence for several 
years, until at the session of the Grand Chapter in 1882, its 
charter was formall}^ withdrawn. In all it initiated but seven

PSI CHAPTER. 625 



History of Psi Chapter 

A score of years have passed since, on a memorable eve- 
ning in April, 1890, the Psi Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma 
Fraternit}^ at Pennsylvania State College, came into existence. 

A score of years — as we pause to-day and look back on 
them they seem to have contained a large measure of good 
things for Psi, and for those one hundred and sixty-nine men 
who, in the fulness of their young manhood, have pledged alle- 
giance to her. We note on Psi's register the names of many 
whose ability and sagacity have won them positions of trust 
and high honor — others who are none the less esteemed because 
their lives ha.\e been filled with usefulness and service, its own 
sufficient reward. 

The past twenty years have been equall}^ prosperous for 
Phi Kappa Sigma. At tlie time of Psi's institution there were 
but seven other active chapters (including Lambda, now in- 
active, Epsilon, Iota, Mu and Rho being temporarily inactive) 
situated in tlie North and East. To-da^^ no less than twent}''- 
six strong chapters extend from Maine to California — from 
Wisconsin to Louisiana. 

Psi was peculiarly fortunate in the circumstances sur- 
rounding its institution. Several years previous there had been 
establislied at Pennsylvania State College Keystone Chapter 
of the Q. T. v., a Latin Letter Fraternity, then located only 
at the so-called "Land Grant" colleges, and at present non- 
existent. This was several years before tlie institution of any 
of the National Greek Letter Fraternities at State, and nat- 
urally Q. T. V. lield undisputed sway in its field, Psi inheriting 
from Q. T. V. a leadership among the fraternities at State that 
has never been wrested from her. 

Largely through the instrumentality of Brother T. J. Orbi- 
son. Omega, '88, who was familiar with the conditions at State, 

40 



626 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

application for a charter of Phi Kappa Sigma was made, and 
on April 5, 1890, in Bellefontc, Psi Chapter was duly insti- 
tuted by Brothers J. H. Brinton, Grand Upsilon ; Hobart Mil- 
ler, Grand Sigma ; C. R. Wood, Grand Theta, and H. E. Yarnall 
and T. J. Orbison, of Omega. 

The question of a permanent home for Psi early agitated 
the members, for at the second meeting a Building Committee, 
consisting of Brothers Mock, Gossler and W. H. Walker, was 
appointed, followed shortly by an assessment of $5.00, made 
payable not later than June 24, 1890, as first payment on cer- 
tain lots under consideration. 

The first meeting place was on the second floor of the 
Foster block, where a suite of rooms was fitted up. In the 
spring of 1892, a house was rented on Beaver Avenue, and oc- 
cupied until September, 1893, when the present home, magnifi- 
cently located on Beaver Avenue, was entered. 

Around this house memories of most of the members of 
Psi fondly cling. The home of many of us for a portion, if not 
all, of our college days, w^e realize better in later years how 
large a part it played in our lives — each of us treasures some 
notable events that we happily recall, though with a touch of 
sadness for the days that are gone. Probably the most inter- 
esting of many events were the Thirty-third Convention of the 
Grand Chapter, held on January 10 and 11, 1896, and the 
tenth anniversary of Psi, celebrated by a large gathering of 
alumni in the spring of 1900. 

Although well suited to its purpose at that time, Psi has 
outgrown these accommodations, and for several 3"ears it had 
been keenly felt that a new^ home was indispensable to Psi's con- 
tinued prosperity. After several ineffectual attempts to start 
subscriptions for this purpose, a substantial sum of mone}^ was 
raised, largely through the efforts of Brothers R. P. Barnett, 
'05, and L. O. Kuhn, '05, and on January 31, 1905, the house 
was purchased subject to a mortgage. 

Economical administration of the finances of Psi enabled 
the active chapter to reduce this mortgage materially by June, 
1908, although during this interval extensive refurnishing was 
done, and a much-needed heating plant was installed, to which 



PSI CHAPTER. 627 

over fifty of the alumni contributed, showing their widespread 
interest in the affairs of Psi. 

Commencement, June, 1908, is a memorable one in Psi's 
history- — the culmination of this movement. Brothers J. E. 
Quigley and P. V. Stevenson, with cliaracteristic energy, suc- 
ceeded in assembling over thirty-five of Psi's alumni at the chap- 
ter house, which, with the active members, made nearly sixty Phi 
Kaps at State College — more than ever in Psi's history. The 
enjoyment of the week reached a fitting climax on Tuesday 
evening in an enthusiastic meeting, and when subscriptions were 
called for, more than the amount needed to cancel the mortgage 
was subscribed in a few minutes. This amount was later in- 
creased to several thousand dollars. 

A Building Committee was appointed, which has labored 
earnestly to provide a suitable home for Psi. A score of plans 
have been proposed, each of which seems to contain some fatal 
defect. But with funds that are growing in amount, and deter- 
mined effort to accomplish the goal, Psi looks forward to 
occupying soon a home that will fittingly typify her standing 
at State. Builders are now bidding upon architects' plans for 
rebuilding and greatly enlarging tlie present house. 

To compress the twenty years of Psi's existence into a few 
paragraphs, and at the same time do full justice to many 
events, is difficult — for the achievements during their college 
days and in after years of the men who have gone out from 
Psi are man}'^ and great. The record of them, as spread on 
the following pages, will be a source of inspiration to the mem- 
bers of Psi who are to come.

History of Omega Chapter 

Omega Cluipter of Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity existed at 
Haver ford College from Noveml)cr 18, 1884?, to November 20, 
1890 — just six years. The original or charter members were 
as follows : William Samuel Hilles, Samuel Bettle, William 
Townsend Wright, Frederick Newbold Trotter, Harold Ellis 
Yarnall. 

The close proximity of Haverford College to the Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania, Haverford being only nine miles from 
Philadelphia, and the exceptionally high standard of tlie stu- 
dents of Haverford, many of whom were known socially to the 
members of Alpha, led to the establishment of Omega. Haver- 
ford is controlled b}^ the Society of Friends. 

From the beginning the life of Omega was suh rosa, as the 
regulations of the college forbade secret societies. This was 
a great handicap, as w^ill later be seen. Troubles began early 
and continued during its entire career, the first blow^ coming 
in 1885. It seems that part of the initiation of Brother 
William E. Hacker was witnessed by an employee of the col- 
lege. The matter was innnediately reported to the Dean and 
in a public college meeting this officer of the college denounced 
fraternities in no uncertain terms. Not daunted by this mani- 
festation of unfriendly spirit, tlie members set to work to make 
the chapter even more powerful, hoping some day to be able 
to go to the faculty and demand recognition. After a second 
warning by the Dean it became necessary to move the meeting 
place from the college, and early in 1886 the chapter moved 
to a room in the home of Brother H. E. Yarnall. As Brother 
Yarnall's home was on the college campus, it was a very satis- 
factory change. All went well and the chapter was growing, 
but soon the effect of the Dean's speeches w^as felt in another 
way. Many of the most desirable men were kept from joining 
in the fear of instant dismissal should they be discovered. 



666 rill KAl'l'A SIGMA I'RA'riiRXlTY. 

In October, 1887, the chapter moved into hirger (quarters. 
It was deemed advisable to get a little further away from the 
college, and two rooms on the second floor of a dwelling house 
in Preston, a nearby village, were rented. Here it was felt 
that the men could meet with less restraint and in less fear of 
detection. It was here also that the men really felt what was 
necessary to feel to be good Phi Kaps. The meetings held in 
Preston were enthusiastic ones. The chapter was self-support- 
ing in every sense and a feeling of security, independence and 
pride became manifest. Here the members could meet and smoke 
and plan to their hearts' content and no fear of being caught. 
But an end was to come of all this — that end which surely comes 
to all organizations which exist in direct contempt of a higher, 
wiser, and more far-seeing authority. Haverford was then even 
smaller than it now is, and the idea of allowing a smaller body 
to grow up within its borders, which fosters any other interest 
save that of the college proper, was, and always will be, frowned 
upon. This sentiment begets a feeling of unity in the hearts 
of all those who attend the college and this, in turn, welds the 
men into a harmonious body, filled with love for their Alma 
Mater. The members of Omega were probably actuated by that 
impulse of love to their college when, in November, 1890, they 
decided to give up. These men were good Phi Kaps, but the 
odds against them were too great. Their sense of duty to their 
college seemed incompatible with the fraternity idea, and they 
voluntaril}'' disbanded. During the life of the chapter there 
were admitted thirty-five members. After Omega disbanded 
provision was liiade by the Grand Chapter, whereby Haverford 
College students could be admitted to membership in Alpha 
Chapter. To date fifteen Haverford men have cast their lot 
with Phi Kappa Sigma in this manner.

History of Alpha Alpha Chapter 

Alpha Alpha Chapter was Instituted at Washington and 
Lee Universitjr, Lexington, Xa., on the l^th day of October, 
A. D. 1894. 

Its charter members were Sidney Greene Clay, of Paris, 
Ky. ; Frank Moore, of Lexington, Ya. ; Daniel Edward Brown, 
of Lexington, Va. ; William Jackson Elgin, of Leesburg, Va. ; 
Charles Augustus Macatee, of Front Royal, Va. ; Giles Burnes- 
ton Cook, of Front Royal, Ya., and Robert Hite Turner, of 
Front Royal, Ya. 

Brothers Clay, Moore, Brown and Elgin had been mem- 
bers of a local fraternity called Gamma Digamma Kappa, but 
the purpose for which it had sprung into existence having been 
accomplished, it disbanded and passed into oblivion. After the 
disbanding of this organization, Brother Brown conceived the 
idea of petitioning Phi Kappa Sigma, and after conferring with 
Brothers Clay, Moore and Elgin, it was decided to do so. So 
at the opening of the session of 189-1-95, Brothers Macatee, 
Cook and Turner were enlisted and a petition signed by the 
aforesaid seven brethren was formally filed with the Executive 
Board. 

After due consideration and after a visit from Brother 
Nelson S. Groome, of Hampton, Ya., the charter was granted, 
and on the 13th day of October, 1891, Brothers Thomas L. 
^Montgomery and E. K. Rowland of Alpha, came to Lexington 
and formally initiated all of the charter members except 
Brother Brown, who was not then in the city, into the mysteries 
of the skull and bones. Such in brief is the history of the 
founding of Alpha Alpha. 

In the history of every chapter there come periods of ad- 
versity as well as prosperity. Such has been the experience of 
Alpha Alpha. For the first two years the chapter flourished, 
but the session of 1897-98 opened without returning a single 



678 Pill KAPPA SIGMA PRATERNITV. 

iiieiiiber of the preceding year's chapter. One initiate, Brother 
WiUiani H. White, of Abbeville, S. ('., was, however, made 
during tliis session. The session of 1898-99 opened with no 
Phi Kaps returned. However, through the efforts of our loyal 
alumni, C. S. McNulty, of Monterey, Va., now of Roanoke, 
Va. ; John M. Theobald, of Grayson, Ky., and R. O. Crockett, 
of Tazewell, Va., were initiated, and thus was accomplished the 
second founding, as it were, of the chapter. Through the noble 
efforts of these three brethren, the chapter was again placed on 
a firm basis, and since that time it has flourished, its present 
chapter roll now numbering nine. 

All of the members of the chapter since its institution are 
now living except Brother Mark Byrd Stephenson, who has 
been called to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no 
traveler returns. 

Several years ago a movement was started by Brothers 
Clay, Brown, Desha, McNulty and others, looking to the gath- 
ering of a fund for the purchase of a chapter house, which has 
met with success. The chapter wsls incorporated under the 
laws of Virginia, in October, 1909, and a very desirable piece 
of property was purchased from the university, overlooking the 
campus, on which we hope in the near future to erect a good 
and substantial home for the chapter, which will be the first 
fraternity house at the university.

ALPHA BUT A CHAI'TIiR. 693 



History of Alpha Beta Chapter 

Alpha Beta, the only chapter organized beyond the 
territorial limits of the United States, was chartered at the 
University of Toronto, and instituted on May 19, 1895, by 
Brothers J. Hartley Merrick and James Starr. Zeta Psi, 
Kappa Alpha and Alpha Delta Phi were represented by chap- 
ters in the university at the time. Brother Henry Bueth Sims, 
of Alpha Chapter, was affiliated with the chapter and was its 
first Alpha. Seven men were initiated on the date given above 
and their number was soon increased to eleven. Unfortunately, 
however, the chapter neglected to look to the academic depart- 
ment for its initiates and consequently failed to obtain a fiiTn 
foothold. After the academic year 1895-96, its members 
dwindled, and in the fall of 1897 it surrendered its charter, there 
then being only one or two men in college. The chapter was 
organized without any assurances of permanency and it was 
allowed to drift to early dissolution, both of which conditions 
should not have been tolerated.

ALPHA GAMMA CHAPTER. 699 



History of Alpha Gamma Chapter 

The organization and installation of Alpha Gamma Chap- 
ter of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity was due. in great 
measure, to the efforts of Brother Daniel Jenifer Barton, of 
Eta, who was an instructor in mathematics in the West Vir- 
ginia University during the years of 1895 and 1896. In the 
fall of 1895 Brother Barton began the movement to secure a 
charter for a local chapter, and with the assistance of Brothers 
Earl W. Williams and G. H. F. Holy, a body of ten men was 
organized and application for a charter was made at Thirty- 
third Convention, which convention was held at State College, 
Pennsylvania. The application was acted upon favorably, and 
the chapter was installed at Morgantown, West Virginia, on 
the 15th day of January, 1896. 

For two or three years no regular quarters were secured, — 
the chapter meeting at the rooms of the various members. The 
first permanent meeting place was secured in 1899, and con- 
sisted of but one room. This one room was used until 1901, 
and at this time two rooms were secured in the Postoffice 
Building. In 1903 quarters were secured in what is now known 
as the Brown Building, on High Street. The chapter had four 
rooms at this new abode, and six of the members slept there. 
Little satisfaction prevailed with these new apartments, for 
the rooms were on the fourth floor of the building, and there 
was no elevator. The desire that all of the members might 
live together so that the fullest benefits of fraternalism might 
accrue was not realized. 

In the winter of 1901< six rooms were secured in the Dering 
Building (better known as the "White Elephant") on Spruce 
Street. These rooms, although on the third floor, proved fairly 
satisfactory. Ten of the fourteen men in the chapter lived 
under the same roof in the happy bonds of the best fraternity 



700 I'll I KAPPA SJCMA J'KATJiRNrrV. 

in the world. A year or so later the fraternity moved to tlie 
second floor of the same building on the opposite side. 

From 1903 to 1906 ^Vlpha Ganmia Chapter was rising upon 
the ladder of progression by leaps and bounds. In 1906 the 
first house yet to be occu})ied by the fraternity was secured. 
This house was located on Nortli Spruce Street, and those of 
our brothers who visited us in the years of 'OG, '07, and '08 
will remember this as the house that stood so far on the hill 
that they were winded when they reached it. 

On March 2, 1908, Alpha Gannna Chapter took a bold 
step. She gave up the old quarters on Spruce Street and moved 
into a new house of fourteen rooms at 230 Kirk Street. This 
liouse has been occupied by the chapter continuously since 
March 2, 1908, and will probably be the home of tlie chapter 
until it builds a house of its own. It is large enough to accom- 
modate all the men with board and room who desire to lodge 
there. 

Alpha Gamma Chapter now lias quarters equal to those 
of any other fraternity in the university. The advantage of 
having a good home has been great. In two years the chapter 
has grown rapidly and has acquired a large influence in the 
university and in Morgantown.

ALPHA DELTA CHAPTER. 721 



History of Alpha Delta Chapter 

On Ma}^ S7, 1898, the Omicron Epsilon Eta Pi Society of 
tlie Universit}^ of ^Nlaine became Alpha Delta Chapter of Phi 
Kappa Sigma, the work of initiation being done in the City 
Hall, Bangor, by Brothers J. Hartlej^ Merrick, Grand Alpha, 
and Stevenson H. Walsh, Past Grand Alpha. 

, Twenty-two charter members assumed the responsibility 
of the new fraternal organization, of whom five were freshmen, 
six were sophomores, six were juniors and five seniors. 

Regular weekly meetings were held in the hall occupied 
by the Q. T. V. Society on the university campus and at nearly 
every meeting for over four years an extensive literary pro- 
gram was carried out. 

On November 4^, 1898, the first action in regard to a 
chapter home was taken w^hen it was voted, "To have a com- 
mittee appointed to see what prospect we have of getting a 
chapter house." 

During the winter of 1900-01 the Q. T. V. Hall was burned 
and it was onl}^ due to the daring and persistent efforts of 
Brother F. M. Davis, '01, that the charter was not destroyed. 

From this time on the efforts of the brothers were directed 
towards securing funds to build a chapter house. The chapter 
was fortunate in that the university authorities provided a site 
for a home on the university campus and were willing to en- 
dorse notes to the amount of about $10,000 for its erection. 
With this financial support money was borrow^ed from banks and 
individuals and in the college year of 1902-03 work commenced. 

In order to carr}^ on the business of the Fraternity a 
charter was obtained from the State of JMaine, and the organiza- 
tion was known as the Phi Kappa Sigma corporation with offi- 
cers consisting of a president, vice-president, clerk, treasurer, 
assistant treasurer, auditor, and board of directors. 

In November, 1903, the chapter moved into the new home, 

46 



722 /'/// KArPA SIGMA FRAIERNITV. 

a house built to liold about tliirty students, a matron and a 
chef. From this date on, as is universally the case, a new life 
began for Alpha Delta. 

Early in the life of the chapter the custom was established 
of writing semi-annual chapter letters to the alumni. This was 
in the nature of a circular letter and contained the chapter 
news of interest to the alumni. In the fall of 1908 the chapter 
letter was changed to the Maine Phi Kap, a printed illustrated 
sheet of four pages ; the editorial board consisting of an editor- 
in-chief and two assistants. 

Alpha Delta has been prosperous in her fraternal life and 
her business transactions and to the men who have had the 
privilege of membership she has meant much.

History of Alpha Epsilon Chapter 

Armour Institute (name afterwards changed to Armour 
Institute of Technology), of Chicago, 111., opened its doors as 
an educational institution in September of 1893, the year of 
the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. At the start stu- 
dents were enrolled in all four years of the preparatory depart- 
ment, known as the Scientific Academy, but no advanced stu- 
dents w^ere sought or accepted for the Technical College, and 
only those who were qualified to enter the first year of a college 
course were registered. This first class continued to be the 
highest class throughout its course and the college was out- 
numbered by the academy during the first few years. 

During the fall of 1896, there being then four full classes 
in the college, the fraternity spirit began to make itself felt, 
among a certain few, by a desire to get together a band of the 
congenial good fellows in the school and unite them in some 
organization. This desire Avas augmented perhaps by the fact 
that after an Armour man had talked with men from other col- 
leges and had received an insight into their lives, he felt that a 
certain essential something was missing at Armour, and that 
was the Greek Letter Fraternity. The matter was talked over 
in a quiet informal way with first one and then another, and in 
January, 1897, a self-appointed steering committee, consisting 
of the leaders of the movement under consideration, called a 
meeting I for the pui'pose of organizing a society or club which 
would eventually become a part of some national college 
fraternity. 

Ten or fifteen representative men, about equally divided 
among the four classes, responded to the invitations to this 
meeting. An organization was effected, which was afterwards 
incorporated under the laws of Illinois, and officers were elected. 
Considerable discussion w^as provoked in an effort to find and 
agree upon a name for this promising organization, but it was 



750 " PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

quieted when George A. Feiiidt, 1900, suggested that smce its 
aim was to become a "chapter" in some fraternity, tlie society 
be called "The Paragraph Club," and this name was agreed 
upon. 

In April of 1897, the first floor flat at the corner of Armour 
avenue and Thirty-fourth street was rented and furnished; the 
club gave several housewarming parties to its friends and the 
faculty, and began to feel some of the joys and responsibilities 
of fraternity life. 

About this time the club made the acquaintance of a 
number of members of Phi Kappa Sigma. Something in the 
attractive manhood of these men and in their sterling loyalty to 
and enthusiasm for their national Fraternity impressed the 
members of the Paragraph Club so favorably that they made 
application for a charter. All the active men of the club who 
were in good standing, thirteen in number, signed the petition. 

These men were initiated into Phi Kappa Sigma on the 
evening of June 8, 1898, by active and alumni members of 
Upsilon Chapter, and were granted a charter as Alpha Epsi- 
lon Chapter. 

Members of Alpha Epsilon Chapter, and especially those 
connected with its early life, feel with a certain sense of pride, 
that the entrance of this chapter into Phi Kappa Sigma marked 
a new era in the history of the Fraternity, at least in the Cen- 
tral West. 

In the ten or twelve years of its experience Alpha Epsilon 
has enjoyed a constantly healthy life and has grown from its 
modest start of thirteen active members and a flat with accom- 
modations for only five men; it now has about 120 alumni and 
fifteen active members and a three-story comer house that has 
quarters for twenty men.

ALPHA ZETA CHAPTER. 777 



History of Alpha Zeta Chapter 

When the Semi-Centennial Register of our Fraternity was 
issued in 1900, the last chapter on the roll was Alpha Zeta. 
And by a curious coincidence the name of the first member of 
the first chapter in the same register is that of a Baltimorean. 
So that it does not seem strange that there should be a chapter 
of Phi Kappa Sigma in Baltimore, — indeed the remarkable fact 
would seem to be that a chapter was not instituted there until 
fifty years after Chamberlaine, of Baltimore, joined Alpha 
Chapter. 

The plan for a chapter in Baltimore originated with the 
present Grand Beta of our Fraternity — George Poindexter 
Bagby. Brother Bagby had left Richmond College and the 
University of Virginia — at both of which institutions he had 
been so actively identified with the Fraternity, and was planning 
to complete his education for the bar at the University of Mary- 
land. His early education had been obtained in Baltimore, and 
he naturally renewed many of his former associations on his 
return. So enthusiastic a fraternity man could not long re- 
main at the university without casting about with a view of 
establishing a new chapter. The sessions opened in October, 
but as early as the preceding May he had pledged Brother 
Singley to Phi Kappa Sigma. During the summer Brother 
Bagby met Brother Albert C. Dieffenbach, now Grand Theta, 
who was at home for the summer from Franklin and Marshall 
College. He, too, was a Baltimorean who had attended the same 
secondary school as Bagby before leaving for college and he 
joined most heartily in the plan for a new chapter. Upon appli- 
cation, the charter was finally granted, and on the evening of 
November 24, 1899, Alpha Zeta Chapter was formally insti- 
tuted at the University of Maryland with eleven members. 
Brothers Merrick, Bower, Walsh and Starr, of the Executive 



778 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

Board ; Spalir and Biddle, of Epsilon ; Pannebaker, of Zeta, 
and Blacklock, of Eta, were present at the ceremonies. 

The chapter flourished notwitlistanding its uninviting sur- 
roundings and numerous handicaps of every conceivable na- 
ture until the fall of 1900, when it moved to 1207 John street. 
Here, while we had a house, we had little else. In 1901 the 
chapter moved to 1408 McCulloh street, where it enjoyed 
unusual prosperity in every way. For eight years this house 
was the beloved haunt of all Phi Kaps not only of the city 
but even the state. The Grand chapter was asked to con- 
vene in Baltimore in 1904 as the guests of Alpha Zeta, and this 
event marked a distinctly new era in the fraternity life of the 
chapter. Last year, after careful consideration, the chapter 
decided to move to its present quarters at 9. East Read street. 
The new home is one of which the chapter may justly feel 
proud. The chapter itself had grown so in numbers, it had 
taken such a part in the fraternity at large in its ten years of 
existence, that the new chapter house was merely the material 
expression of the healthy growth in the active life of Alpha 
Zeta. 

Alpha Zeta Chapter draws its material exclusively from 
the Law Department of the University of Maryland. In this 
respect it occupies probably the most unique position of any 
chapter in the Fraternity. While this exclusive condition was 
not brought about by design, it no doubt is the secret of the 
close association of the alumni of the chapter. Linked to- 
gether by common ambitions and ideals, the members of the 
chapter, most of whom settle in the city for the practice of 
their profession, cling to the chapter whether as alumni or as 
members of the active chapter. The greatest menace to the 
life of the average chapter is the loss which it sustains by the 
graduation of its men. This factor being to a large extent 
removed by the peculiar circumstances of Alpha Zeta, it is fair 
to presume that its career of usefulness is but yet in its infancy. 
That it may wax strong and do valiant service for the Fra- 
ternity, is not only the hope, but the aim and ambition of every 
son of Alpha Zeta.

History of Alpha Eta Chapter 

In 1900 Elmer 1). Merrill, of Alpha Delta ('liapter, being 
stationed at Charleston, S. C., on government work, became 
impressed with a group of students at the College of Charleston. 
This institution is one of the oldest colleges in the country, 
having been founded in 1785, and while always a small colh^ge, 
has drawn from the best families of South Carolina. In accord- 
ance with a suggestion from Brother Merrill, seven students 
petitioned for a cliarter. The Fraternity recognized that enter- 
ing so small an institution was problematical, but believed that 
it was safe to entrust a charter to the petitioners, who were men 
of high standard. Accordingly, a charter was granted, and the 
chapter instituted under the title of Alpha Eta on May 4, 1901, 
by a committee consisting of Frank B. Bower, Alplia, then 
Grand Sigma ; Elmer D. Merrill, Alpha Delta, and James Mc- 
Evoy, Jr., Alpha Zeta. 

The chapter secured a house at 69 George Street, Charles- 
ton, and for several years maintained a successful existence, 
although its numbers were always small. The men themselves, 
how^ever, soon realized the impossibility of permanent success, 
and on October 1, 1905, they voluntarily surrendered the char- 
ter, stating that in their opinion the material from which they 
had to draw was decreasing both in quality and in numbers to 
such an extent as to jeopardize the continuance of the chapter 
upon a sound basis. This action, while regrettable, was a highly 
commendable exhibition of unselfish loyalty to the Fraternity 
and of a real desire to see the high standard maintained, even 
though such action caused the loss of an active chapter.

ALPHA THETA CHAPTER. 803 



History of Alpha Theta Chapter 

Alpha Theta Chapter owes its origin chiefly to the efforts 
of Arthur R. Crathorne, Alpha Delta, '98, who was a member of 
the faculty at the University of Wisconsin in 1900 and has since 
become a member of the faculty of the University of Illinois. 
Brother Crathorne came to Wisconsin in the fall of 1900, and 
at once noticed the relatively small number of fraternities and 
the splendid opening for a new chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma. 
That his judgment was sound has since been well demonstrated 
as the chapter may to-day be unpresumingly said to be one of 
the strongest Phi Kap chapters in the West, so far as active 
members and alumni are concerned. 

After studying the situation for about six months Cra- 
thorne decided in the spring of 1901 that the time was ripe 
for the installation of a Phi Kap chapter at Wisconsin. He 
selected Charles R. Rounds as the best man to aid him in the 
work of getting a chapter started. To this Crathorne and a 
large number of the men who are conversant with the early 
history of the chapter attribute, in large part, the early success 
of Alpha Theta. 

Crathorne and Rounds went over the situation carefully 
and examined a long list of eligible men and finally selected 
Messrs. Arthur D. S. Gillett, Harry W. Page, Burt E. Steen- 
son, Clough Gates, William J. Crumpton and John G. D. Mack 
as the nucleus for the chapter, and work was begun along the 
lines of procuring a charter of Phi Kappa Sigma. 

The early meetings of the embryonic Phi Kap chapter 
were held in the room of Crathorne at 1112 West Johnson 
street and by the close of the school year in the spring of 
1901 a strong organization had been formed with about ten 
men enlisted in the work. During the next summer a house was 
rented, after much trouble, at 610 Francis, at a rental of $40 
per month. 



8o4 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

By the next fall the men were all under one roof and were 
in shape to do some rushing, although they had not yet secured 
a charter. Their efforts met with considerable success and 
shortly after the opening of school an application for a charter 
was sent in. On November 13, 1901, a telegram was received, 
stating that the charter had been granted. 

On December 10th the permit for the installation of the 
chapter was received and it named Crathorne, E. V. Stark- 
weather, Alpha Epsilon, and Louis S. Rice, Upsilon, as the 
installing committee. December SO, 1901, marks the date of 
the birth of Alpha Theta, for on that date the chapter was 
formally installed by the above committee. 

The house at 610 Francis street soon became too small for 
the needs of the chapter and a house at 619 Langdon street was 
secured and the owner rebuilt and remodeled it during the 
next summer so that it made a very acceptable fraternity home. 
The chapter has occupied this house since that time, but it is 
hoped that before many more years have passed Alpha Theta 
will own her own home, built according to her own ideals and 
necessities.

ALPHA IOTA CHAPTER. 821 



History of Alpha Iota Chapter 

The club which gave birth to Alpha Iota was originated 
by Alfred T. Levine. Associating with himself six fellow stu- 
dents in Vanderbilt University, he organized, in 1900, the 
"F. G. D." Club. This club being secret in its nature, adopted 
a pin, initiation ceremony, grip, pass-word, and regulation 
sign. Soon thirteen strong men were gathered together, and 
following out their original intention, they began work to estab- 
lish a new Southern college fraternity. Their idea was to limit 
the number of chapters to thirteen, also the number of members 
for each. Conservatism was to be the keynote of the new fra- 
ternity. 

About this time Phi Kappa Sigma came to the attention 
of the "F. G. D." Club, and on account of the similarity of 
ideals, communications were addressed to the Grand Chapter. 
These resulted in the filing of a formal application, which led 
to the arrival of John Riess, of Mu, to investigate. In due 
course, the application was voted upon favorably and Riess 
and Sidney L. Menge, of Mu, came to Nashville to institute 
the new chapter. Harry Anderson, of Phi, a resident Phi Kap, 
assisted them in the ceremonies, which were held on April 
18, 1902. The charter members represented every department 
in the university, and included men prominent in all phases of 
college life. 

The first years of Alpha Iota were rather perilous, but 
fairly successful. In the beginning the chapter rooms were 
down town, but the second year a chapter house was attempted. 
This move was premature. At this period very few fraternities 
in Vanderbilt had houses. They were not then considered indis- 
pensable. However, from this first failure a wholesome lesson 
was learned, and modest, comfortable quarters were secured on 
the campus. These were retained until gradually sufficient

strength was gained to secure and maintain a first class chapter 
house. 

One of the characteristics of this chapter has always been 
a conservative esprit de corps for scholarship. While scholastic 
attainments have not been requisite for membership, they have 
generally been expected. 

This chapter has labored under a very serious handicap 
during most of its existence. It has lacked the support that 
comes from a strong alumni. As there were only two resident 
alumni to begin with, and no sister chapters located near Nash- 
ville, Alpha Iota had to fight on almost single handed. Every 
year added some strength, won by the strong personnel of her 
active men and the loyal aid of the few alumni. Membership 
increased steadily from the original thirteen to this year's 
number of thirty-two, and the alumni has likewise grown. 
Counting them and the active men, there is now a resident mem- 
bership of about thirty. This insures a strong alumni within 
a short time, and the disappearance of the early very great 
handicap. For the last two years development has been phe- 
nomenal, and it only presages a still brighter future for Alpha 
Iota. '

History of Alpha Kappa Chapter 

The Alpha Kappa Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma was 
chartered on the 31st day of December, 1902, by the con- 
vention held on that date at Pittsburgh, Pa. On the 24th 
day of January, 1903, M. Clay Le Jeune and John Riess, 
of Mu Chapter, as representatives of the Executive Board of 
the Fraternity, came to Tuscaloosa for the purpose of initiating 
the applicants into the mysteries of the Fraternity. On the 
evening of the S'ith the installation ceremonies were held. It 
was in the front room of the second story of the First National 
Bank Building of Tuscaloosa that the chapter first became a 
reality. 

For the balance of the session of 1902-03, nothing was 
done with the exception of planning for the fall rushing. How- 
ever, only two of the charter members returned at the beginning 
of the year 1903-04. These were augmented by six initiates 
during the fall of that year, and the chapter commenced then 
its labors in earnest. Dark days have come and gone, but 
the chapter at the present time is an exceptionally strong one. 

Perhaps the most noteworthy has been the prominent stand 
of the chapter in matters of scholarship, and this has hardly 
excelled the record in the athletics of the university. Full 50 
per cent of the graduates of the chapter have been honor men, 
and few there are among the number of initiates who have been 
dropped from the rolls on account of delinquencies in scholar- 
ship. A large per cent have followed the legal profession, and 
many of them too are fast becoming famous as "saw-bones." 
The chapter has given its share to science — as civil engineers 
and chemists have a good representation on the roll. If the 
chapter can accomplish its great desire of a beautiful home at 
Tuscaloosa, it will hold its own with the ranking chapters of 
the Fraternity for all time.

ALPHA LAMBDA CHAPTER. 84Q 



History of Alpha Lambda Chapter 

The absence of tlie dormitory system in the University 
of Cahfornia produced a situation which rendered unlimited 
scope for the fraternity and club. The men of the university 
were forced to live either in San Francisco, Oakland or in 
poor accommodations in Berkeley. With the expansion of the 
university in size and importance during the period beginning 
about 1896 and extending down to the present time, the growth 
of the fraternities and clubs was in equal proportion. Among 
the many clubs formed in this period and developed greatly 
was a group known as the Valhalla Club. This comparatively 
new club attracted a great deal of attention in college affairs, 
due to the interest taken by the men in college activities. Sev- 
eral of the men were taken into rival fraternities, and other 
men, who received like invitations, refused them. These facts 
developed the idea among the club members of forming a more 
permanent organization and a wider affiliation. A committee 
was then chosen by the club to look into the fraternity situa- 
tion with the result that a report was submitted to the effect 
that the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity was apparently the 
most progressive and desirable order not yet represented at 
California by any chapter or known petitioners. Accordingly 
a letter of inquiry was sent to the Alpha Chapter and referred 
to the Executive Board, who sent back word giving instructions 
as to a formal petition. The petition was drawn up and for- 
warded, and was then referred to a committee composed of Hon. 
Charles Allard Low, Pi, ^65, and Hon. William Emory F. Deal, 
Epsilon, '59, both of San Francisco, to look into the matter. 
A favorable report w^as sent to the convention, held in 1902, 
and then the matter was sent out to the various chapters for 
consideration. It was found that Dr. Edwin Anderson Alder- 
man, Lambda, '82, was to deliver the charter day address, 
March 23, 1903, at California, so the Executive Board asked 

54 



850 Pill KAPPA SIGMA PRATERNITY. 

that if all were in favor the charter might be granted that day 
and the chapter installed. The vote was returned favorable for 
the installation of the California chapter. F. B. Bower, Alpha, 
'92, Grand Sigma; E. A. Alderman, Lambda, '82, and C. A. 
Low, Pi, '67, were appointed as an installing committee. 
Dr. Alderman w^as unable to be present that day, but later 
paid a visit to the new chapter. The Alpha Lambda Chapter 
was installed duly on March 23, 1903, by Brothers Bower and 
Low. Two days after the installation an important meeting 
was held to discuss plans of campaign. A new .chapter house 
was decided upon, and a committee was a,ppointed to draw 
up by-laws and rules which would be applicable to the local 
chapter. For several of the following meetings the new brethren 
made themselves acquainted with the customs and laws of the 
Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity. A house on the corner of Ells- 
worth Street and Bancroft Way was leased for five 3^ears. All 
the officers thoroughly acquainted themselves with the duties for 
which they were responsible and all the paraphernalia neces- 
sary for these offices was obtained. On March 23, 1904^, the 
first anniversary of Alpha Lambda, a banquet was held, to 
which only members were invited. This custom still prevails, 
and on each year in March Alpha Lambda gathers all her 
old members about to renew old times and acquaintances. 
At the time of the San Francisco earthquake, April 18, 1906, 
the doors of the Phi Kap house were thrown open and enter- 
tained several of the homeless from the stricken city, and in 
recognition of this fact, those who w^ere entertained presented 
the house with a beautifully engraved loving cup. In 1908 the 
chapter house was moved to 21^26 Virginia Street, its present 
location. The change has been found very beneficial in every 
respect.

ALPHA MU CHAPTER. 865 



History ol Alpha Mu Chapter 

Alpha Mu Chapter was founded at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology, on October 16, 1903. In 1889 a peti- 
tion to the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity from certain students 
of the institute was for some reason rejected. The question of 
a chapter at "Tech" did not again arise until 1902, when 
Alfred T. Levine, of Alpha Iota, conferred with the ExecutiA^e 
Board in Philadelphia, and communicated to it the statement 
that a number of desirable students at "Tech" were consider- 
ing a petition to the Fraternity. The result was an applica- 
tion which was approved in due time and the chapter created 
on the date first mentioned. The institution of the five charter 
members was conducted by Frank B. Bower and Boj^d Lee 
Spahr, of the Executive Board, assisted by William H. Walker, 
Psi, '88, and Frederick T. Hyde, Tau, '91. 

During the first year of the chapter's existence little at- 
tempt w^as made to strengthen the organization. Then, just 
before the close of the college year, the gravity of the situa- 
tion suddenly became apparent to the members, and they initi- 
ated three Sophomores to replace the graduating Seniors. 

Only four men returned to represent Phi Kappa Sigma in 
the fall of 1904, but they immediately began an active cam- 
paign for new material. These were hard times for the young 
chapter. It had little to attract the prospective candidate — no 
chapter house, no established reputation, nothing but the friend- 
ship of a few enthusiastic, hard-working men and the prestige 
of the national Fraternity ; but these proved enough, a.nd by 
the following spring the membership had increased to thirteen. 
Up to this time meetings had been held in the rooms of the 
various members, but in the spring a small house was rented on 
Aspenwall avenue, Brookline, and some of the men lived there 
until June. The experiment was not a success however, mainly 

55 



866 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

because of the distance from the institute ; and the house was 
given up at the end of the college year. 

The fall of 1905 found Alpha Mu with nine members. 
Until Christmas the chapter rented a room on Huntington 
avenue for a meeting place. This proving inadequate for its 
growing needs, several rooms were secured at 262 Newbury 
street, in the heart of the fraternity district. Several men 
lived there during the spring. This was the first important 
step toward establishing the reputation of Phi Kappa Sigma 
at the institute. 

The fall of 1906 marked the beginning of Alpha Mu's 
present prosperity. A three-story house, 314 Newbury street, 
was leased for one year, and for the first time in the history of 
the chapter regLilar meals were served in the house. 

The next fall a larger three-story house, 422 Newbury 
Street, was taken. This remained the headquarters of Alpha 
Mu for two years. During this time the chapter continued to 
grow and prosper, strengthening its organization and preparing 
for the most recent step in its progress. 

In the fall of 1909 a large four-story house, 225 New- 
bury street, was chosen as the home of Alpha Mu, which found 
itself capable of competing successfully with the best frater- 
nities at the institute. 

No histor}^ of Alpha Mu would be complete without a 
mention of Henry F. King, Epsilon and Pi, who has always 
been the chapter visitor. His material aid, sound advice and 
encouragement have always come at times when most needed. 
He has gained the respect and admiration of all, and has con- 
tributed to no small extent to the present prosperity of the 
chapter. 

In the six years of Alpha Mu's history a careful, conserva- 
tive policy has always been followed, yet the chapter has been 
wide awake and ready to take advantage of any opportunity 
which has presented itself. Herein lies the secret of its success.

History of Alpha Nu Chapter 

The spring of 1903 found technical education enjoying a 
public approval and patronage that had not been accorded it 
in years, and realizing that with the progress that was sure to 
follow it would be necessary to keep the fraternal conditions 
equally well advanced, several members of the student body at 
the Georgia School of Technology busied themselves to secure 
charters from some of the foremost of the national fraternities 
not then represented at "Tech." Their efforts resulted in the 
establishment of three new chapters — one of which was the 
Alpha Nu Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity, which 
chapter was established and instituted on Januar}^ 15, 1904*, 
at the Aragon Hotel, Atlanta, Ga. The chapter had its 
birth through the efforts of Harvey Hatcher, Phi, '9^, who, 
in the spring of 1903, interested Bryan M. Blackburn, who 
at that time was a student at Georgia School of Technol- 
ogy. Alfred T. Levine, Alpha Iota, added his enthusiastic 
support to the movement to secure the charter. During the 
summer of 1903 Bryan M. Blackburn and J. Ernest Sims suc- 
ceeded in securing the support and co-operation of five other 
students. A petition was then prepared and circulated among 
the active chapters of the Fraternity and voted on at the Rich- 
mond Convention of January 1, 1904. The petition was 
granted and seven men were duly initiated on the evening of 
January 15, 1904, by a committee appointed by the Executive 
Committee and composed of John Reiss, Mu ; Harvey Hatcher, 
Phi ; Alfred T. Levine, Alpha Iota ; Harry Anderson, Phi ; Roy 
Bennett Pace, Phi ; Frank B. Dancy, Lambda. 

At first the regular weekly meetings were held in the law 
office of Harvey Hatcher. 

At the opening of the scholastic year in the fall of 1904 
only five men returned, but by united efforts a very strong and 
necessary foundation had been laid, for though weak nunieri- 



878 PHI KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY. 

cally, the chapter had become so interwoven into the affairs 
of the college as to be quite a factor, which was shown by the 
success at the following "rushing season." By this time the 
chapter occupied nicely appointed rooms and felt well under 
way. It was in this year that Alpha Nu sent her first represen- 
tative, Bryan M. Blackburn, to the Baltimore Convention. 

At the fall term of 1905 J. Ernest Sims was the only 
one of the charter members who returned to college, four of 
the others having been graduated. But with him as a leader, 
a very strong foothold was gained by the chapter of 1905 and 
1906. 

In the year of 1906 and 1907 the last efforts of the upbuild 
period were completed and the work of the preceding years 
was crowned with success by bringing out the chapter of 1907 
and 1908, the strongest of any in the life of Alpha Nu and 
which made her a leader at "Tech." Its influence was recog- 
nized politically, socially and in all departments of student 
activity and those of us who had nursed the chapter in its 
infancy with no little anxiety felt repaid by the position given 
to our Fraternity at "Tech." 

The chapter was weakened to some extent by graduation 
and 1908 and 1909 did not come up entirely to the very high 
standard established by the previous year. However, all of the 
losses were more than regained by the fall of 1909, which found 
the chapter in a prosperous and well organized condition. 

Alpha Nu Chapter has graduated more than forty per cent 
of its initiates, which shows that as high value is placed on 
scholarship as upon good fellowship.

History of Alpha Xi Chapter 

The petition of the charter members of Alpha Xi Chapter 
of Phi Ka})pa Sigma was sent to tlie Grand Chapter on Novem- 
ber 25, 1904. The petition was granted at the next convention, 
and Alpha Xi Chapter was installed at Purdue University on 
November 25, 1905, just one year from the time when the peti- 
tion was presented. The installation committee was composed 
of Victor Ernest Brown, William J. Crumpton and Rodman 
M. Brown. 

At the time of the installation the home of the chapter 
was in the "Crow's Nest," as it was familiarly known at that 
time. The chapter soon increased in numbers and it was neces- 
sary to remove to more spacious quarters, and after a short 
time the chapter took up its new abode at 805 South street, 
which is the home of the Fraternity at the present time. 

Later it was seen necessary that the chapter should own 
its own home and the building fund for Alpha Xi Chapter was 
instituted. This fund is maintained by means of alumni notes, 
and at the present time each man, upon being initiated, is 
required to sign ten notes which are due in ten years from the 
time of leaving college. By this means the fund has been 
growing rapidly and the chapter hopes to be in its own home 
in the near future. 

Up to the present time the chapter has initiated fifty-six 
men and has received five men into the chapter by transfer. Of 
this number thirty-nine are alumni, twenty-one are active and 
one has been transferred. 

It has always been the policy of the chapter to keep a 
well-balanced brotherhood, to encourage an active interest both 
in college and in fraternal affairs, and to maintain the reputa- 
tion which it has had since the installation. 

The chapter's existence has just passed its fourth year, 
and, with the members all striving to do the greatest good, the 
future should be as successful as the past.

ALPHA OMICRON CHAPTER. 901 



History of Alpha Omicron Chapter 

The charter for Alpha Omicron Chapter of Phi Kappa 
Sigma was granted by the Grand Chapter on December 6, 
1905, and the chapter was installed on December 16th of the 
same year. On that date nine charter members were initiated. 

In February, 1906, the chapter rented a house which it has 
since occupied. Although inadequate to the present needs of 
the chapter, it has served, and will serve, the purposes of a 
fraternity home until the building fund shall have reached 
sufficient proportions to allow the erection of a new chapter 
house. For this purpose a series of notes was issued by the 
chapter in 1907 and signed by practically every man, under- 
graduate and alumnus alike. Each new initiate signs his series, 
and it is hoped that in a short time sufficient funds will be paid 
in to warrant a beginning at least. 

The growth of the chapter has been steady and consistent 
although not at all phenomenal, for it has ever been the aim of 
Alpha Omicron to demand a high standard of manhood from 
its initiates and to sacrifice the seeming gain of rapid advance- 
ment to the surer but slower progress of strong internal devel- 
opment. In the course of the period from June, 1906, to 
September, 1907, four of the younger faculty members of the 
university were initiated. This proved a wise procedure, for 
by their academic assistance and lo3''alty they have greatly 
contributed to the ideals of the men and the local standing of 
the chapter. In all the chapter roll to date contains the names 
of fifty-eight men. 

In many ways a young chapter is handicapped by the lack 
of alumni, but the few that Alpha Omicron can boast in its 
short life have proved a host in their loyalty and eager support 
of the chapter and the Fraternity at large.

History of Alpha Pi Chapter 

Alpha Pi, the youngest chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma, 
received its charter on December 30, 1905. 

The middle western members of the Fraternity, feeling the 
need of a chapter at the University of Chicago, and believing 
that the field was open for a chapter there, took steps to found 
it under the auspices of the Armour Chapter, and secured the 
consent of the Grand Chapter to initiate students of the Uni- 
versity of Chicago as regular members of Alpha Epsilon. Thir- 
teen men were accordingly initiated, and petitioned the con- 
vention in December, 1905, for a charter as a separate chapter. 

In the fall of the year preceding the installation cere- 
monies the majority of the men had established themselves 
in a chapter house near the campus of the University of Chi- 
cago, initiating their men at the Armour House, and techni- 
cally members, all the while, of Alpha Epsilon Chapter. Instal- 
lation was deferred until after the chapter at the Universitv 
of Michigan had been installed. Victor E. Brown, of Upsilon, 
then Grand Theta, presided at the installation. 

Handicapped severely at the beginning of its second year 
by the absence by graduation of the majority of its charter 
members, the chapter's remaining members launched into a hard 
fight to retain chapter strength. The situation was aggravated 
by the dearth of fraternity timber among the freshmen. This 
dearth was the result of the radical modification of rules gov- 
erning the participation in athletics at the university. Every 
chapter at the university suffered visibly, and the hardest burden 
fell naturally upon the youngest chapters. 

The following year saw a turn in the tide, and the chapter 
has boasted a strong personnel ever since. The chapter is now 
installed in excellent quarters at 6054 Kimbark Avenue.
